Awesome Responses

Just wanted to take a moment this morning to say that everyone's recent response posts have been really great. I'm excited for the conversation this morning, as it seems we have a lot of interesting, articulate, and impassioned opinions on the matter. Keep up the good work!

I know that Dustin and a few others mentioned the fact that after Mike's monologue there is some discussion, fact-checking, and also some opposing arguments to what Mike's story. One of the major ones (and one of the folks interviewed at the end of the program) is Nicholas Kristoff, author of this New York Times article entitled "Two Cheers for Sweatshops".

I think it is a worthwhile read for you guys who are interested in this issue regardless of how you feel about labor conditions in China. Particularly for those of you who vehemently feel that labor conditions in China are in need of reform, Kristoff's article is a good place to find an articulation of counter-arguments that you are inevitably going to need to address.

Again, I just wanted to say that I'm really glad that you guys responded so passionately to this issue. See you in class this morning!
