I am just as guilty as most people who try and make the effort to live a more ethical life; I have gaping blind spots.  It appears I care more about animal welfare than people.  I do get blinded by a bargain and have dismissed organic, sustainable, and ethical clothing as too expensive, weirdly patterned or based on the fear that I...
