Surefire suing Crelant yet?

[sidecross]

All my lights up until this year have been Surefire; the last one I bought was the Surefire 6P Pro.

My newest lights have been the Nitecore TM11 'Tiny Monster' and the Eagletac G25C2. Both of these new lights have nothing in common with a Surefire in terms of switches or operational design.

I am a retired Union Journeymen Mechanic of the Machinists Union and a member of the IWW. I am very dissapointed how American made manufacturing has almost disappeared.

I am old enough that a Schwinn or a Columbia American made bicycle was wish of every young kid; the wealthy kids even had A Raleigh known then as an 'English Bike'.

I am also old enough to remember when Union Labor was above 25%; today it has fallen to lower than 7%.

Just to be clear I am no representaive of any foreign manufacturer, but a very dissapointed retired American Union worker who has been witness to the destruction of organized labor and American manufacturing.

Hmmm . . . .

My very first bicycle (more than Half-a-Century ago)
was a Columbia Torpedo !

When it first required some minor maintenance, my father quickly discovered
(to his great disappointment) that all the fasteners on it were METRIC !

He had to work on it WITH A PAIR OF PLIERS ! ! !

:hairpull:


I can STILL vividly remember his REACTION to this discovery !


Upon closer inspection, he spotted a Columbia sticker / plate / decal stating it . . . .


" What the Heck ? ? ? This bike is made in ENGLAND ! ! ! "
