SRI Chat - Socially Responsible Investing Subject: Re: sri...vegi...non smoke....no drink...=$$$$ From: Rodneyj Date: 08/26/00 SR screening is more labor intensive, and thus costlier...that's just the way it is.... Look at it this way... if the developing nations had all the same labor and environmental laws as we do here in the states, the cost of alot of your basic goods would tripple. i.e., we, the american consumers, would have to pay what the goods are *really* worth. Being Socially responcible costs money, and I'm willing to pay it. We've had it too good for too long and alot of terrible things have been done to keep the more affluent populace comfortable and therefore complacent.
