Good point about the slave labor etc etc. I understand t-shirts sold at the Gap are made by sweatshops in Latin America.

Latin Americans are being forced at gunpoint to work for the Gap?

With regard to "sweatshops," the alternative to working in one in these countries is to make much much less. When you boycott them, you are only hurting the employees. You can't expect a third world country to pay US economy wages.
