Every summer, we have a few door-to-door salespeople come around, usually selling books. The interesting thing about these people? They're in their late teens and they're from other countries. The young man who came by a few days ago was from Estonia. By the time he got to our house at 1:00, he said he'd already been working for 5 hours and still had 8 more hours to go. That's right. This kid came to American to sell books for 13 hours a day, 6 days a week in the sweltering Georgia heat! What company is hiring these kids? Where are they housing them? How much are they paying them? If it's not actually illegal, it sure sounds inhumane.

I'm surprised you didn't offer up a home-made muffin and juice ;)
