Sean,

Why is everyone so concerned. Is it not natural that
off-shoring will take place? I think it is just part
of globalization and free market economics 101.
Business naturally moves where the best price and
quality can be obtained. If they can supply the
products at the right price and with quality, then
power to them.

Israel has been producing documents for American
companies for several years. Why can't TW's in places
like India, Tonga, Hong-Kong do the same?

I know some Indian TW's and there are really good.

Then again keep in mind that as, I myself am
off-shore, I would be in favor.
