   What you conveniently clipped:   
      
   'Before those blasts, Apple had been alerted to hazardous conditions   
   inside the Chengdu plant, according to a Chinese group that published   
   that warning.'   
      
   AND:   
      
   'We've known about labor abuses in some factories for four years, and   
   they're still going on,' former Apple executive says, 'Why? Because   
   the system works for us'   
      
   AND:   
      
   'Two people were killed immediately, and over a dozen others hurt.'   
      
   AND:   
      
   Definition Ostrichism:  the deliberate avoidance or ignorance of   
   conditions as they exist .   
      
   Did you take that class perhaps?
