I'd be interested in seeing the Bill Maher piece on it.

As it was explained to me a large piece of the manufacturing work force comes from the hundreds of millions of rural Chinese residents who still lack access to clean water or any type of medical facilities. Working conditions in Chinese factories are deplorable in our social context, but it could still be a huge increase in the quality of life for many.
We are making them threaten mass suicide because of what they say by your own admission are deplorable working conditions, but because they have ruining water now that is ok? Not a compelling argument. Would a balanced view support your assertion that they enjoy it there?
