Your Dollar, Your Vote

I found this cartoon today. It was conceived by Mike Adams, the editor of Newstarget.com. I think that this cartoon speaks to so many of the problems you are forced to face just by going to the grocery store. You probably never think of where your dollar goes after it leaves your hand. If you do, it's probably not beyond the corporation you're supporting with that dollar.

It's troubling to think that by buying an apple, you are giving money to a store who gives your money to an international produce distributor who gives your money to a grower who steals land from farmers and abuses their workers. Actually, it's down right tragic.
If you haven't already, and are looking for something to read, I highly recommend One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez (come on- it's an Oprah book).
