| 41. Have you taken logic? |

This makes absolutely no sense.
You interpret a statement that Wal-Mart doesn't have the right to seek the lowest price, if that quest results in the rights of another being abridged, equates to a choice between giving a wage slave in Juarez a pennies-per-day job or keeping the job here in the US.
That is not logical.
The choice is between observing workers' rights or not doing so.
Obviously, workers' rights are violated by Wal-Mart every day that monstrosity does business. So... that's the problem.
ALL workers' rights are worth caring about.
It's not that the Juarez issue is irrelevant to ME, it's irrelevant to THIS discussion.
