Placate The Creatures At Your Door With Union-Made Candy

(This Halloween cartoon is by Mike Luckovich in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.)

We're only a few days away from that time when you will likely be inundated by witches, ghosts, goblins, and other tiny nefarious creatures appearing at your door and demanding tribute. The best (and traditional) way to handle this is to ply them with copious amounts of candy -- and I suggest you do that. But not with just any kind of candy. As a good progressive, supply these tiny beings with the best candy -- candy made by union workers.

2. Complementary link to list of chocolates made with cocoa harvested by child slave labour.

Basically, if your chocolate is made with cocoa coming from West Africa, child slave labour was employed to get it. The list is split out to show the likelihood that such illegal practices were involved.
