These countries are ALREADY taking the stuff back, and it is killing
people and destroying the environment in their countries, as well:

Yes indeed . A few years ago I saw a TV programme on lead acid batteries
recycling.
Used batteries were shipped from the USA (back )to Taiwan,with the lead
being recovered there . A dreadful operation. Working conditions and
resulting pollution of the local environment were really bad.

Name one person who has died that can be traced directly to
salvaging efforts.

Real sensible question.

Just like the one about two white guys and a black guy
arriving at Heaven. St. Peter asks the first guy what famous ship was
sunk by an iceberg. Guy answers, "Titanic" and St. Peter waves him in.
St. Peter asks the second white guy how many died. Guy says, "1503"
and St Peter waves him in. Then he turns to the black guy and says,
"Name them."

Many people don't realize that most of the high tech parts of
electronics equipment, such as the, ahem, CRTs, are _made_ right here in
the U.S. and shipped to another country for assembly. Sony's San Diego
plant is one notable example.

Did he? You didn't finish the story. So What happened?

There is a big difference between "name one" and Naming 1503, and I don't get
the connection.

How about this joke, maybe it will make things clearer-

Two male priests are fishing with a new female priest recently
transferred to their diocese on the shore of a huge lake. It is
discovered they left their bait back on shore, and the female priest
offers to get it. She calmly steps out of the boat, and walks gently
across the water to the shore and picks up the bait without even getting
wet.

Before she returns, one priest whispers to the other- "They send us a
female priest and she can't even swim."
