Even before the whole gas price crisis redux (if you remember the late '70s, folks, there isn't anything new going on here), we're willing to overlook the sweatshop labor and other human rights violations in developing countries so we can buy crap for 89 cents cheaper at Wally-World.WhooperLuvrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900472769243196363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32288822.post-2568570386374075962008-08-04T08:30:00.000-04:002008-08-04T08:30:00.000-04:00Whops, I was wrong; I read the speech he gave at H...Whops, I was wrong; I read the speech he gave at Harvard, not the Nobel speech.
