You have some good points Fengzi, and I actually wouldn't want to argue with any of them at this venture.

But surely we can agree that there's a difference between outsourcing Labor, both as a means of keeping costs lower and providing work to other countries; and economically exploiting 3rd world nations.

I'm not suggesting that we don't utilize foreign markets, but rather that we pay them a fairer wage for their labor. I know what your thinking, it would cause our own costs to rise, maybe you'd pay an additional dollar or two per shirt. And of course, the place to start with this balancing act is at home, because the excess of some in the face of the overwhelming poverty of many is disgusting.

I just think it's going to become an inevitable step, sustainability is rapidly becoming a necessity in our future. And the sooner our nation realises that, the higher the level we'll be able to sustain. Time is money after all, and we seem to rapidly be running out of both.
