Man of principles

There comes a time in every person's life where things start to make a little more sense to live by. You know, fighting the injustices of this world makes a little more sense than just talking about how messed up the world is. I have decided that this life may bless me with the opportunity to have children, and if I am to be a great father, then I definitely need to be a man of principle. Beyond claiming to be one, I need to do so in action. I need to live it.

So FUCK NIKE AND THEIR SWEATSHOP WAYS. I work with high school kids, and not that they didn't have a legitimate point, but what's the difference between a Nike sweatshop and an adidas sweatshop? My answer was the size (I needed to say something, y'all!) of the sweatshop and how long it has been in operation with said company. I understand that there are battles worth fighting for, and sometimes the battles we take up against one enemy only benefit other enemies we may encounter in the future. But that's a risk I'm willing to take. I am a preserver of excellence and a fighter of the good fight.

Let's keep it real.

Peace and Bless.
