The moral beauty of being not-WalMart

Target apparently sells t-shirts with slogans like "Support Organic Farmers" and "Think Global, Act Local." For $9. How do they make a profit on this? Well, it helps to produce them in Thailand, w/ cheap, conventionally grown cotton...

(This isn't going to turn into a how-does-globalization-affect-Thailand blog, I promise. I'll be back to the interminable horse race in no time. Maybe I'll even include a proper religion post from time to time, when I can peel my eyes away from Iowa and New Hampshire...)
