Once again, here's another one of your little challenges, Larry. You don't
say whether you agree or not, you just throw out some more bullsh*t
questions to fish for another fight. If you DON'T AGREE that there are
ethics in business and pricing, THEN I'll be happy to elaborate on "fair
pricing." If you DO AGREE that their is such thing as ethics in business and
fair pricing, then what is there to debate? Are we going to debate whose
view on a point we agree on is more correct?

I'm not going not taking the bait this time. Once again, no straight forward
agreement or disagreement on your part, just more challenges. If you AGREE
that children should NOT labor in factories (nor should America profit from
such labor) then what is there to debate? If you think child labor is okay,
I have nothing more to say on the matter and don't bother trying to convince
me otherwise.
