re: The Spectator: "The noble feat of Nike"
Most people who demonstrate against the "exploitation" of Third World labor have little or no idea how large a step up even the lousiest factory is from where they were. A factory job is a possible route out of endless generations of near-starvation, while following an ox around a plot of ground. Damn few do-gooders bother to ask the opinions of the workers.
If you dig behind a lot of the organizations that harp about Third World labor, you usually find at least one American labor union holding the strings. But that's another story.
