And though we may not be able to know or follow everything that happens, I believe that being informed is preferable to being ignorant. I just read a story about domestic workers in the UK being treated essentially as slaves by employers withholding passports and paying pittances if anything. It's not a happy story by any means, but I feel I only gain by being informed. The US is too insular at times, IMO.

I like that example.
