Child labor in China for Walmart Christmas ornaments...

...so what!

The people of the United States need to quit imposing our morals and laws on the people of other nations. In a report on CNN, they're talking about how some Christmas ornaments available at Walmart are being made in China by kids ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. Sure, here in the U.S. there are laws (NOW) to keep children from working. It wasn't always so, just sixty-some years ago, it was common for children to work in factories and construction sites, many times doing dangerous jobs.

These children in China are providing income for their families, most of whom probably need that income badly. Who are we to tell them how to treat their children, or run their country. There are too many people in the U.S. that think we are the "moral police" for the world...we're not, and we need to realize that!
