Trickson, I think Steevo summed mit up best: speak with your wallet.
I agree, sending jobs OS has been the mainstay of gov't policy for some time and the results in AUS are as severe as in the US I imagine.
I am not saying live in a wood cabin with logs cut from a stone axe, but that is where people always go with this type of discussion. I love modern living, the access to modern medicine and information that is unparrelled in human history etc. These things are great.
But some things are wrong, and when we see that they are wrong we can look for other answers. I just bought an AUS made gas heater, it cost more and there was only one model, but it supports industry at home with apprenticeshiops and trade skills. The carpet in our house is dyed without harmful pigments and milled here in AUS, and again costs more.
I don't live with earthen floors and no heating, for f@$ks, sake, who would choose that.
As to Mailman and Solaris, what is your point guys, you have been happy taking the piss out of my point, but what is yours.
Are you happy to support jobs going overseas, is that funny?
Is it ok for murder and rape to be byproducts of our consumerism as long as we are not reminded of it?
Is being thoughtful wrong because we may all go back to living in caves?
Obviously you didn't make these things happen, but they are happening.
What are you suggesting.
Tye
The point cheif is that lard and diamonds arent related to PCs thei related to food products jewlery cars planes, watches. etc etc. and those are only a few. talking with your wallet might MIGHT help a LITTLE but talking with your wallet for every problem leaves you with nothing considering what other companies do. pushing this wallet nonesense gets old. You need to do ALOT more to fix the problem than that. I would appreciate it if you didnt automatically assume I found it all amusing. However I do find your solution to the problem VERY amusing. How can YOU change the way a factory in a country works 11000 miles away? or a boat in the middle of the pacific. Or the sapphires in your watch?
