Actually, I have heard the arguments you've made here many times in my life. Because this issue is so important to me, and because I've spent time researching it, I have educated myself about the debate.

Nothing you wrote here has swayed my opinion even remotely. I acknoweldge that those arguments have merit, but I cannot support a company that allows children to work in its factories, in unfortunate conditions, while making barely enough money to survive.

I agree that there are issues out there but those who want to fight are just a small number and the companies are too big.

I completely disagree with you on this. In the course of human history, had every leader said something akin to that, society would have come to a standstill. I'm not saying there's an easy fix, I'm not saying it's black and white, but I choose to fight these companies by getting the word out where and when I can and not supporting them financially. I'm not forcing anyone else to do so, and I don't expect everyone else to do so.

If the issue is indeed smoothing out, then I am happy to hear that.

But the problem is truly at the core of American politics, and it's all about the corporations. The mega-corporations that care only about money and think very little about actual people. Corporations run everything. It's dangerous.
