    Looking at ole P diddy's Recent troubles
    got me to thinking

    I'm not down with sweat shops etc
    but do we expect foreign countries
    to follow our laws?

    Should Minimun wage be enforce [even if
    in there country the median income is much lower?]
    Weekends? even though they have no such barriers?

    While somethings like safety etc should be an issue
    HOW FAR SHOULD WE GO WITH IT?

    Should we force foreign factories to follow AMerican law?
    for the American Consumer it would Equal higher Prices
    for the American Worker it would equal perhaps more jobs

    I for one am still unsure on this one.
    Ethically I'm all for it
    Economically, if may hurt those countries more than help
    [if it cost the same to do business there. . .then the bigger
    company will leave. .. and leave the people with NO JOB ]
