I support a boycott but red this first, for thought. Unicef was able to exert pressure since there were children involved but what organization can do the same for adults? The world needs an organization with clout that stands up for workers rights. The following shouldn't stop a boycott but anyone organizing one needs to think of how to help all the people who'll get fired for lack of demand. http://www.bdix.net/sdnbd_org/world_env_day/2001/sdnpweb/sdi/international_day/childrens_day/bd&childlabor.htm

What a wicked world we wove.
