Jeez, I wish I had said that - brief and to the point (as always, Hell) and it's just what I was thinking. If we had to worry about politics over everything we did, we'd all be afraid to move and we'd die of starvation. I have boycotted certain products at certain times for various reasons, but I'm not always convinced it's the best way of handling a situation. You have to weigh the potential good of the boycott against the potential loss to the people you're hoping to support. What we consider crappy working conditions and wages might be considered good in some places. It doesn't make exploiting others right, but I think we who live in free countries where we have the luxury of considering this kind of thing make assumptions that the rest of the world operates the same way - or should operate the same way. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
