I am currently working for one of the biggest construction companies in the world.  Today I was handed a pin and told "Here's a pin for tomorrow... You have to wear it."  I never did bother to find out if it really was a mandatory thing. (Didn't care)  Now it is a good looking pin in the shape of a ribbon done in red, white, and blue; with the companies logo in the center.  Normally I am the kind of guy (like the rest of us) that being told I have to do something like this just doesn't fly.  I have no problem wearing the pin but, when I took a closer look at the package the words "Made in China" caught my eye.  Now this I do have a problem with.  The company wants to promote patriotism with this?!

"...if you don't wear the pin tomorrow, some little kid in China will go to bed hungry...no, wait, that's not right."
