If you do it, Dwight, maybe you'll have some facts
behind your opinions...

You and I both knew you couldn't do it, Kim. The information it not that
easily available and it would take considerable effort for consumers to
research the products they purchase each day, week, or year. In spite of
your claims otherwise, you don't do it. I certainly don't do it. And I
don't
know anyone who does. But someone has to have some responsibility for
which
products are sold and effects on the overall economy. Since it is beyond
the
abilities of the average consumer, the burden automatically falls on
business, the government, and the courts.

Dwight, are you calling me a liar? Yes, I have done it, and yes it is not
all that difficult to do. Anyone on the internet has the capability and
it's not difficult at all. Try these sites, since you're apparently too
damned lazy to take the effort. You will have to add the typical front end
to each of these addresses:

ethicalconsumer.org (check out the research link)
epa.gov/tri (toxic release inventory)
greenchoices.org (has some links to fairly every-day things we buy)
corpgov.net (good primer on the topic)

I might also remind you of something, truly stupid I might add, that you
said above: "since it is beyond the abilities of the average consumer, the
burden automatically falls on business, the government, and the courts."
This in a follow-up to a brilliant observation you made: "...someone has to
have some responsibility for which products are sold and the effects on the
overall economy."

For cryin' out loud, Dwight, who the phucking (HansTM) hell do you think is
going to keep "business, the government, and the courts" responsible?

And, let me further make a suggestion: before *you* make yourself look any
more stupid, get some education on the topic we've been discussing in this
thread. Jim and Dee are far better at me than history and perspective and
you've repeatedly negated their points of view--even going so far as to say
[paraphrasing here] that you don't have to have facts because we are "just
debating." Go "just debate" with the Kindergartners...I take this subject
far more seriously.
