14. It's not a matter of looking . . .

The words of Kurt Vonnegut come rather easily to mind:

"A normal person, functioning well on the upper levels of a prosperous, industrialized society, can hardly hear his conscience at all."

The point isn't guilt, but comprehension, understanding and breaking the chain of complicity. While we'd probably rather not view them as such (since it creates some real conflicts) economic choices are moral and ethical choices, as well.
