>You may be right, but every time you eat a banana, lettuce leaf or cashew nut, by your definition you can be said to be funding human exploitation. But lets not use such ideology to shot down dissent: the issue in a US context is that the exploitation no longer is limited to the banana republics and south of the border. US blue collar workers have been driven way down and now it's starting with the middle class. You don't need a degree in history to know what happens when you lose the good will of the middle class.


True, but if the middle class's gripe is that there are far too many rich people richer than they are without any appreciation of how much they actually have, it doesn't make them just or right.

It actually makes them no different than the people they resent.
