I agree with most of what you said. I sincerely hope that if a Democratic President gets into office we do include International Labor (and Environmental) standards in trade agreements. I don't spend a lot on Christmas for others and this year my wife and I are spending nothing on each other. But what we are going to do is to give our remaining resources at the end of this year to the poor. There are a lot of great international charities out there and the only redeeming feature of Christmas, the only thing that makes me happy about this time of year, is the spirit of giving that comes over some people. I would encourage everyone to donate money to charity rather than spending money on gifts.
