ToyCollector, Others...
Agreed, I buy some personal things from foreign countries produced by foreign labor. Sure, why not - right? Ugh, maybe wrong... After digging into this a bit more over the last year and seeing what is going on makes me feel a bit like a hypocrite in some respects... it also makes me wonder what the heck I can do to help the cause as an individual (and probably nothing) but maybe there is some sort of power in numbers and way to help increase awareness for those that have power and control to help change it. Keeping that message on the radar screen is critical, I would think. And who knows, just maybe there are a few people that visit this site that have influence to help push too. We in Kalifornia know that Arnold is talking about it; which is good.

This may sound lame and ignorant, but I believe in Grass-Roots efforts to some degree, and whatever all of us can do to help spread awareness is something at a minimum. I must say, I'm more aware of how my/our purchasing decisions help to contribute to the bottom line as a result of these studies and findings going on. If US companies continue at the rate that its going now for outsourcing more jobs, products, and core labor functions, I'd hate to see what shape we'll be in around 10 years from now.

Lets all make a pact to spread the word and keep it on the radar. The more people talk about it, the more people campaining for upcoming elections will use this as a tool for votes. Spread the word...
