But thank goodness
and
are coming to more prominent public attention.
I was feeling bad the other day for buying a toy rack that was made in Thailand because there is no question but that terrible exploitation of children and women take place in the country. And then I thought, at least if the children are working here they are not in a worse place. (Yes, I know JB, hardly a salve to conscience--it's becoming impossible to buy ANYTHING any more. But I don't have the skills to make it all for myself.)

I've had that same thought about products made in Thailand. Efforts at more conscientious buying are coming up soon on our list. It's just one of the things I hate about shopping places like Wal-mart, wondering at what price our cash savings come. But we do it anyway, partly because it's cheap, partly because it's convenient. Of course, I feel pretty shallow being concerned with fifty cents and a couple of hours when reminded of the continuous desecration of so many people made in the image and likeness of God...
