First of all LOL at the growing list of names on this debate ;~) I think when exploitation of workers is discussed, we must be very careful to take into consideration that what in the USA seems like a very meager wage, is in another country an acceptable one. Mike, I am not sure that you are saying this, but I have heard many people throw these ideas around without considering the relative nature of wages & without any real knowledge of what the lives of these "exploited workers" were like before they were employed. I am not saying that there are not legitimate claims for exploitation but what I am saying is that the issue is often more complex than what many people (who mean well) understand it to be. "One of the major sports equipment companies in the world pays (or used to pay when I did the research) a blind, 11 year-old Punjabi girl named Sonia less money than it takes to buy a litre of milk. Per day, not per hour. She gets this for sewing the soccer balls" ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
