You mentioned clothing and here it maybe matters even more than with higher-end technology devices where a certain amount of skilled labour is required, but even here certain items like headsets, speakers and other mass-produced items we here in the west are buying and discarding whenever we don't like them any more or see something we like better affect the quality of life of the people in the countries where they are made. We all want cheap, cheap and, even better, cheaper, big corporations like Walmart, Target and others are happy to supply all this cheap stuff and they are looking where they can make it cheapest; I mean, who cares if the cool shirt was made by an 8-year old who toils in a sweat shop for 12 hours a day and gets paid 25 cents a day for the effort. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
