PS - a couple years ago I wanted to buy a non-stick fry pan made in
USA. China-mart didn't have any - 70% by dollar of their product is
made in China. Meijer actually had a selection including made in
USA... The funny thing is, the locally made pans were of higher
quality and $2 cheaper than those at Wal-mart, or the Chinese made
pans at Meijer. So much for "Cheap labor". No, we don't have morals
here for industry, adult or others.

So when does it become morally acceptable to buy Chinese goods?

If your moral compass has no problem buying Chinese made goods, you
should have no moral problem buying porn. Otherwise, I would think as
soon as they have another revolution and the people are not killed or
imprisoned for their views, forced to work in Western sweat shops,
etc. The basic human rights issues that some have voiced concern about
the porn industry exist several orders of magnitude greater in China.<br>
