A Little Explanation

Underlined words like these are hyperlinks that take you to other cool places. If something I say doesn't seem to make sense, look for underlines.

Odds are good (in theory) that there is some sort of an article that will give a better idea of what I'm trying to say.

For instance...

In the case of the chocolate bar, it is not the fact that you are eating chocolate when someone else might not be able to that is injustice.

It is the fact that Hershey’s has documented human rights abuses, that include the use of child and slave labor, and they have not yet moved to find a way to address those issues. So, if I sponsor a World Vision kid AND buy Hershey’s chocolate, I am essentially speaking out of both sides of my wallet.

With one side, I am saying that children deserve the right to go to school and to play and to be protected, but, with the other side, I am saying that they only deserve those rights if my rights to free trade (not FAIR trade) chocolate are taken care of first. Obviously, that’s not what most people are thinking when they buy a chocolate bar, but, regardless, that is the message their actions are sending, and, intentional or not, that is a form of hypocrisy.
Justice doesn’t necessarily mean that we all live exactly the same lives. It means that me trying to get what I want is done while making sure that I am not taking advantage of your position and hurting you.

Moral of the story? Hyperlinks are cool.
