Anala, I love that you responded back.

As I age I too wonder what I know about anything.

I have done a lot of shopping at Amazon; I'm as complicit as anyone. But now I recognize I should no longer be complicit, and I have tried to stop buying anything. It's a small protest, but it's all I have.

If you're looking for a great book on the subject, I would suggest Alec MacGillis's "Fulfillment." it is very comprehensive. You'll know more than you want to about Amazon and corporate tax-avoidance tactics when you're done.
