Actually, I do want to know.

And what was your worst job as a child? I see your point, but it isn't what
I was getting at. My belief is that if first world nations don't begin to
address the unequal standards of living in the world, it's going to balance
itself. Not through doing the "moral" things to change the world for the
better, rather through the inevitable bottoming out of the economy in terms
of quality, price, standard of living, etc. will it happen.

I just think that people look at Wal-Mart as a domestic problem, when in
reality it is just normal business practice allowed to be taken to the
extreme lows of the world. Nobody wants to talk about world poverty, etc, so
without a real caring community all these economic "woes" will flourish.
