It's a fact that no one forces a Chinese person to work at Foxconn. It's also a fact that many jobs like logging and fishing in the west are much much higher in fatalities each year. It's also a fact that dentists have a much much higher suicide rate than Foxconn employees, almost 7 times more from the numbers I was playing with last year.

The situation in China isn't good, but it is what it is, and it's not Apples fault. And it most certainly isn't Jobs fault. Just about everything you consume is made in factories in China, but I only see this when Apple is in the conversation. It's simply illogical.
