    And over 200 die in a garmet sweatshop. In Bangladesh that suuplies chain stores such as Target, Wal Mart and higher end.
    For a dollar a day they lost their life, but not to worry there are plenty more such places there and plenty more willing to die for a chance to earn a dollar a day.
    Tis sad when ones die no matter the place but odd it is that value is by race.

    I was JUST thinking about that garment shop in bangledesh! Thats our wonderful free trade deal gone bad. Corporations in American paying less taxes for sending jobs overseas and employing child labor! And they wonder why this country is failing?
