| Message | Or they'll just dump it at low prices in third world countries. ;-) Is that what you want? Also, the fact that they won't have to pay to have their trash disposed of will attract many companies. |

| Message | "Or they'll just dump it at low prices in third world countries. ;-) Is that what you want?" To be honest, I dont care. Presumably the third world countries will be paid for their services if that is the case, but personally I dont think any company would spend large amounts of money on freight just to dump waste thousands of miles away when they could quite easily pay less to have it desposed of in Rutania. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) |
