Too true, sadly, though why it should often be so is annoying. I admit, some are better than others. And then there's Mondragon - I don't know much about them but they seem to be further down the 'ethical' route than other producers. Do you know them, contadina?contadina wrote:You'd be very hard-pressed to find an ethical electronics manufacturer
Yep, it's pricey, possibly because of less of an environmental subisidy.contadina wrote:very few people can afford to spend £1400 on a bespoke freezer.
I don't hoard anything - I do ownsporting rifles and shotguns though. Some of my best friends are in the armed forces and I'm glad that they are well armed and equipped. Its very easy to sit back and say "wars are bad" (whilst of course enjoying the freedoms won by braver people) - however without the ability to resist tyranny, we would all be considerbaly less free than we are today. There is nothing "unethical" about the ability for a person, or a nation, to defend themselves or others. It would be woefully naive to think that without arms we would have any form of freedom or rights - rights and priveleges have been won on the edge of a sword and the point of a bayonet.greenorelse wrote:
