Are you in denial about whether or not it is okay to buy clothes knowingly made in a sweatshop? Have you read my blog posts about why sweatshop labor is not as bad as it seems and still believe it is ethically wrong? It probably is, but it's not your fault. So get over it. Sweatshop workers love their job. They go everyday to their job happy, happier than any American worker. They have more appreciation for their jobs than any person reading this ever has. If they did not have sweatshops they would not have a reason to wake up at 4 a.m. in the morning. There are numerous people selling scraps they find at a garbage dump in developing countries for a dollar a day that dream that their children will work in a sweatshop. These people are in denial as well. If they can barely take care of themselves then why are they going out and having children. Why would you ever want to put your child in a situation as bad as their own. Maybe I am in denial as well. They want to have their own kids to love and cherish. I just cannot see how they can do that, knowing they will not be able to provide for them. Are you in denial about buying clothes from thrift stores or Goodwill? You just cannot open up and take a chance. Is it gross to wear clothes that someone else has already worn? 60% of the clothes I buy at thrift shops have never been worn. The rest are good finds with expensive labels. Anybody that could afford those clothes new probably showers regularly, so it's no biggie. It is like borrowing my rich friends' clothes. Kissing someone on a first date is worst than wearing clothes from a thrift shop. Do you know when they last brushed their teeth?
Happy Denying!
