Enough of this bullshit...

Where and when possible, don't buy their bullshit--that doesn't leave much I know... ::)

Is there a website where companies who are producing in non-democratic countries are listed?

It would be helpful.

I know there are websites where Israelian products and companies, and companies that did business with Israel, are listed.

Hedge, good post, I'm researching and hopefully will come up with alternatives, I doubt it, but will see if there's anything out there.

Not entirely accurate. Just last week, I was reading how the company that bought the ez bake oven redesigned it to replace the classic lightbulb with a heating element. A bunch of girls have burned themselves and one even lost a finger! So, even though it was technically made in China, the problem originated here. There are a lot of stories like that. Most toys are made in China, so if a design flaw causes a recall, it's not really an indictment on China's manufacturing practices.

I agree, our companies have a huge role in this...

Well, think about it. How many times were poisonous food outbreaks last year:
Carrot juice, spinach, lettuce, peanut butter.  Food is one of the few things America still manufactures and we have a recall every week.

The guy who tainted the cough syrup in China was put to death. I doubt that would have happened here.

She's okay. She's just a regular urban, upwardly-mobile, mid to late 30s working mom.
