I would absolutely love a website that clearly stated the national

ebay from Pakistan, North Africa, etc.

Actually, I don't want to track quality of their products. I want to
talk about the fact they dumped 7000 gallons of mercury in a city
reservoir making them, or they paid 7 year old children 4 cents a day
to build them, or they gave Donald Rumsfeld's son-in-law $500,000 for
his state rep election campaign so they would be allowed to import them.

I don't want to start a political argument, but I'm against government
regulating everything to the point that you have to ask the local mayor
when your employees are allowed to go to the bathroom. I'm a proponent
of consumers identifying companies that do nasty things to the
environment, society, etc... and boycotts them or writes letters or
whatever. The problem is finding info on these issues. So when I want
to buy a new television, I'd like to easily see if Sanyo, Sony, or RCA
have done anything to make me think twice about buying their products.
