Nationalism, Patriotism, Consumerism

[GGT]

What do those terms mean to you, as consumers?To what degree would you make or change your behaviors....based on helping your nation and fellow citizens prosper...or trying not to promote other nations from exploiting their own?Examples: would you refuse to buy the latest iPhone, knowing Apple has outsourced 500,000 jobs to China just to make the product more affordable to Americans? Would you refuse to buy imported produce or t-shirts from Mexico or Guatemala, athletic wear or sports shoes from Taiwan or India, knowing the cheaper prices reflect "slave labor" wages? Can you walk through an Ikea, Target, Walmart, Kmart, or Pier One Imports...marveling at the low prices....and not have some gut feeling when looking at the tags saying "produced in China/Taiwan/Mexico" or whatever?
