Not what I said.

Someone who isn't consciously thinking about it and changing their behavior because of it might want to not claim that education makes people kind and that people that aren't educated aren't likely to be kind.

That was the discussion. Ignorance is relative. Action is relative. I'm using less sweat-shop material if I can help it - I'd rather pay $1 more (the actual cost to make a living wage) but the markup via middle men makes that cost $7.

A is made at a sweatshop
$1 materials $0.05 for labor

B is not
$1 materials $1 for labor

A is sold for 7 x cost. $7.35

B is also sold for 7 x cost $14

Who gets the $6.65 difference?
