           ##Robbie, it sounds as if you have an agenda that you haven't put
    before the house. In addition you are making gratuitous statements without
    offering either evidence or basis.

           ### Then you continue to quote me, "Perhaps sometimes there is no
    alternative but most times there seems to be." And you continue with your reply,
    "You do what you can, no doubt, but this doesn't make the overarching problem
    magically go away."

           ###Did I mention magic? I suggested that you have here a collection
    of very intelligent and knowledgeable people. These people can spread the meme
    of not buying the products of slave labor. They also can keep up with who
    the slavemasters are.
           ###And once again you quote me, "In my opinion when we knowingly buy
    these products we are only the Morlocks of H. G. Wells. world living off
    someone elses misery." And you reply, "Definitely, assuming we could reasonably be
    expected to KNOW that we are and that we have a CHOICE in the matter." I know
    of nothing that prevents you from knowing that products from particular
    countries are from slave labor products. I am sure a phone call to any
    international union headquarters would get you a list that would be astounding for its
    completeness. As to your insinuation that we don't have choice I have never had
    a salesclerk point a firearm at me and dictate what product choices I should
    make.
           At one time time in my misspent young adulthood I worked for a
    manufacturer of ladies hairrollers and orther hair care products. We knew that a
    shyster had sold a bunch of hairrollers of a particular color in Arizona and that
    as a result Arizonians just wouldn't have anything to do with a hair roller
    of that color.
           Now if an American Hairroller company can be that sensitive to the
    color of its product in certain markets then people that do purchasing for retail
    outlets can be just as sensitive and in fact they are. So the last thing we
    need is another layer of big brother looking out for us. All we have to do is
    remember we are leaders and start being leaders.
