I am still reading Bolton’s book and I am almost done. I am very appreciative of comments that he has made concerning companies and buyers in the western world. He mention how it is peculiar how we blame the companies for dealing with evil intentions concerning the poor of the world. He mentions that it is only logical that the companies act in ways that save and make money, with no real knowledge of the oppression or with the knowledge that other companies are going to do it too. His other observations is that the consumers are just as evil in these acts since they buy the cheap products that are obtained through oppressive dealings. If we make it worth the companies time and money to obtain good, ethically obtained products, they will go after it, since that is where the money making market will be, but it is a long term process that most of us think is unfair and unworthy of our attention. I tend to call this apathy, because that is what it is. If you aren’t able to put all your funds towards the better products, then put aside some money somewhere and when you have enough to spare, purchase the items that have been deemed ethical.
Grace and peace to you all.
