Most readers and contributors to Indymedia, I presume, would be against the arms trade and money going towards 'third-world' exploitation, deforestation, or animal testing for eg., yet every one of us contributes to these decidely unethical practices. The reason is of course, that most people have bank accounts, if not pensions or investments. Our money doesn't just fester in bank vaults - it is invested and reinvested to get the maximum return (which frequently means nasty investments). |
