You wrote: I somehow fail to see the shocking contradiction
involved in denouncing the US government policies
"while wearing American jeans." How about Americans
denouncing the Saudi regime while pumping
Saudi-produced gasoline ? Or criticising China while
wearing China-made underwear ?
My turn: You're right. Let's re-phrase. Death to the Saudi government!
Death to the Saudi pigs! Blow up their buildings! Convert them to the true
religion! I grant you that the Saudi relationship to the U.S., most notably to
Bush, has yet to be clarified.
Regarding the China-made underwear, Westerners buying Chinese products are
quite possibly saving some child from prostitution. I will continue to wear
China-made underwear and will continue to criticize China. Not buying Chinese
made underwear will isolate them, which would make matters much worse. I admit
to not buying underwear from North Korea.
