We talked a couple of weeks ago about “unintended consequences”, which is a term that captures the idea that the road to heck is paved with good intentions. We will continue that investigation by asking what we mean by “fair trade”, what we hope to accomplish (our good intentions) and the reality (unintended consequences). I’ll post some references later tonight.
Well, I was slow with those references, here’s the link to the report Steve is holding in the photo, “Unfair Trade“.
Annie was all set to make her points, with a birthday to celebrate she still had time to come and put in her $2.00 worth (adjusted for inflation).
BONUS ROUND! A couple of us are going to meet early (5:30PM) to talk about “The Golden Compass”. What is the meta-physical model behind this challenging young adult series? Where does it fit in the pantheon we populate with spiritual life?
