Not all of us fit that description...I have a small import company...I deal only with artisan and family groups...I also teach someone or group of people in the countries I deal with how to source things for export...that way everyone involved makes money...I believe teaching them to make a living is more important than just buying from them...and also keeps them from the long dangerous road of illegal immigration...I am not making a full time living at it yet but am hopefull I soon will...right now I am dealing with Guatemala, Mexico, Thailand, Bali, & Peru...I also give back 10% of my sales to the country of origin to charities and and am looking to set up a foundation that will build schools and educate in those countries as well as pair schools here with those there so the students can help and get to know each other...sorry to run on so but I am very passionate about this subject.

we tend to spend money on ourselves before others because we are only human we think of ourselves first! its only natural that we have to strive to help others because we want to take care of ourselves first. thats ok but we really should take more time to help others..if we did this the world would really be a better place..yes it sounds cheesy but its very true

beeeeeecaaaauuuzzzz....as humans, our basic needs are to survive. then when we have the necessities, we still want reasurence. to have this, we pour our money into conforts and "well being" to ensure our survival rate. this goes for scocial life, LIFE life, but call it wat u want, its just greed either way.
