Re: Would you turn a blind eye?

Gort, I was really responding to Cardinal's comment, "Many of the responses thus far fail to distinguish between low-wage economies and the concepts 'slavery', 'wretched' and 'zilch.'" It seemed to me that he was taking 'slavery', 'wretched' and 'zilch' more literally than you intended.

Are there "low-wage economies" that do not foster a sweat shop atmosphere for laborers? I don't know the answer to that one. How is the term "low-wage economies" defined?


For the record SneakyPete, your assumption is incorrect. I was referring to the connotative meaning of the 'emotionally-laden' words used by Gort (NOT denotative).

... should we take your name 'literally' ? BTW welcome to the forum .
