People should learn that a web hosting company isn't the place to launch attacks on companies. It gives you no credibility at all. If you are the kind of person who really cares about sweatshops and wants to do something about them then go to google and type in "sweatshops" and find the real scoop on what happens in them and how to avoid stuff made in them. As for Radioshack, I have never heard them listed as a sweatshop company. And a google search of "sweatshops levi radioshack" turned up only two links, one is a 404 and the other has it embeded in the html. Not strong evidance that they are sweatshop people. And i don't even like Radioshack. The Big Names in sweatshops are Levi's, Gap, K-Mart, Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic, Lane Bryant, the Limited, Abercrombie & Fitch, Target, J.C. Penney, and Talbots, Disney, Mattel and almost any company that makes shoes. Sweatshop products are enpossible to avoid unless you make your own stuff. And "Made in $fill_in_your_contry_here" prdocts can still be from sweat shops. They exist in every contry. -- .-')) http://asciipr0n.com/fp ('-. | It's a damn poor mind that ' ..- .:" ) ( ":. -..
