Myopia



Got called on the carpet the other day in regard to my boycott of the Olympics. I bought a piece of luggage that fills my travel needs at Wal-Mart for half of what I had previously seen it at Best Buy. It was made in (where else?) China. So I am avoiding the media during the Olympics to send my tiny message to the sponsors and media moguls that I choose not to subsidize their exploitation of athletes. Because human rights trump athletics. So then I buy cheap goods made in the PRC. Am I a hypocrite, a fool, or just another brick in the wall? Does one balance the other? Where is the higher ground? What is a concerned person to do? I am looking for advice here. Please tell me what you think, how you feel and what we should do to eliminate the "lesser of two evil" syndrome. Peace, out.

You haven't went to China so you don't know what China is like.
Close your fucking mouse.
