It's a lot like my attitude toward American Apparel and their skeezy CEO - Dov Charney is a sexist, creepy douche to the models that appear in his ads, but if his company really does in fact deliver on its promises about labor standards, I'm happy to support them. I think it's more important that a whole factory of workers are paid a fair wage than it is to financially ruin a creep. As to Edwards' sins and potential, I'd rather all Americans have access to health care than Elizabeth Edwards' marriage make her endlessly happy. That's not to say I don't wish EE all the best, but I think it's fair to prioritize a nation's people over the pleasant marriage inhabited by a rich lady from the Southern US. <BR/><BR/>I agree that any person going back on promises they made does have a serious ethical problem, but not that they are incapable of making good, tough decisions. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the way, I got here through your comment at Feministe.saraeandersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119958547959999754noreply@blogger.com
