Well, call it what you want, Kim. You told me that you're an informed
consumer that routinely researches the products you buy. It seems to me
that if one routinely researches products, the locations of sites with such
information would be instantly familiar. But, when I then asked you for
information about several products, you didn't offer the sites you
supposedly use - you had to search the internet to find sites. By the way,
the sites you finally did list certainly didn't dispute my claim that
reliable info is not that easy for consumers to get (see next paragraph
below).


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)


Is this really where you get your information from, Kim? I stopped looking
after seeing the prominent "Boycott Bush" link on the
www.ethicalconsumer.org home page. If this site is at all typical of the
others, these are sites pushing their own little agendas, not sources of
accurate and reliable consumer information.


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


Well, isn't that just an astonishing revelation, Kim? Did you just now
realize this entire discussion is all within the context of this country,
it's people, and their system of government? That's what's going on in this
thread, Kim - people discussing what they think their government should do.
