That sort of wrong-headed thinking lets people off the hook for all sorts of misdeeds. The morality here is quite simple: Don't do the evil yourself. You are not responsible for the clowns that will continue to make money off of the evil corporations. You are only responsible for making sure that you are not among the clowns yourself.
Agreed. We're playing a dangerous game here. On the one hand, we're hoping the chaos of a free market will overcome a fascist dictatorship. On the other hand, we're feeding that fascist dictatorship military with more cash than it's ever had before. Which one is going to win out? With the speed of their recent military developments, particularly in regard to Taiwan, I fear the later is going to be the dominant force for quite some time.
Three things to consider with China:
1. The U.S. has vowed to protect Taiwan from invasion. 2. China has vowed to invade Taiwan. 3. China is building troop-carrying boats and Nukes as fast as they can.

Granted it is the Washington Times, but it is still food for thought:
What's wrong with the Moleskine, other than the price? My productivity improved drastically as soon as I started using the Moleskine pocket-sized graph-paper notebook--the pocket allowed me to keep both my business cards as well as other random things I needed to keep with me at all times, and the paper seems to be of pretty good quality.
The other pocket notebooks I've seen with a pocket inside all closed with a magnetic cover--no good, considering the other items in my pockets.
If there's anything like the moleskine, for a price closer to the Rhodia pads, let me know!
