Well I don't really agree with you because you have control over what you purchase. Don't want to support a clothing company that uses child labor, buy from American Apparel. Don't want to buy a frame from Taiwan, buy a frame made in the United States like Litespeed.
Not caring and not having control are two very different things.
Sorry, I don't want to derail this thread, I just thought I'd point out that everyone has a choice.
