Who pays?

Children and their families at both ends of the food chain pay – as manufacturers and as consumers.

This is a HUGE burden for children to bear. They are slave labourers at one end of the manufacturing schema and they are slave consumers at the other. They have no rights nor dignity nor humanity in the eyes of others. They are cogs in a corporate wheel rather than the objects of parental and societal love and protection. Ultimately the entire economy is buoyed up by and built upon the exploitation of children worldwide.

In Canada boys are especially alienated and abused. Large numbers of them are incarcerated, murdered, killed in “accidents” that include auto, labour, play, sports, illness and injury, violence of many kinds, including widespread suicides and drugs/alcohol related troubles. There is no place for them but in jails and cemeteries and hospitals…or the military. This is small-minded and fails to estimate their true character and potential.

"At this point many of the beneficiaries of this exploitation are far far away and do not care about us or our children…in China, India, and USA." - The Global Economy.

We should be caring about them, rather than exploiting them for economic gain.
