Last time I looked we were sitting in front of our computers in our comfy loungrooms and offices, not in the middle of the bush starving. We leave that up to the thirld world as we force their governments to plant cash crops to pay off their debts etc.

Anyway, can we stay away from the boring absolutism? Simply the act of making a decision based on morals and an intellectual process doesn't make you a crusader or beyond reproach. Who's arguing that? Just as I'm sure many vegetarians and vegans sometimes eat meat or sometimes wear things made from animal products (as I do) doesn't mean that people who do eat meat will hack and slash and eat anything that crosses their path, or feel guilty when they chomp on a carrot. Ethics are not absolute.

The only thing that is, is your love of cheap and nasty bike bargains and broken steel Cervelos!

Anyway, don't get me started.
