kholt, I would say the fact that fellow manufacturing TVs is using slave-wage labor would in fact matter to me. Those of us who can afford to pay few $s more for an item should not support the exploitation of dirt-cheap labor. The 3rd world will never progress if we do. Since you acknowledge some familiarity with government, possibly you have a response to an argument on Howard Dean for Pres forum that questions accuracy of numbers coming out of Wash,DC in ths pre-election period: >>that politics for pros thread is a hoot. They believe the Bush economic figures and think the economy is on fire for all americans. From a CA study, The average pay in California in industries that grew during the period studied was $34,742, 40 percent less than the average wage in industries that shrank, $57,800. OK so try to equate this with the Bush WH claim that we have double the GDP as in the 90s. Of course it makes no sense, because the GDP is wrong. I'll tell you one thing, everybody making 40% less in 04 than they were in the 90s is going to cast a vote AGAINST Bush imho.<<
