I know you were only kidding about "socialism" because none of the suggestions are socialistic AND....


They're all great ideas which for the most part, I like.

I LOVE the idea of citizens trying to minimize corporate/bank profits...I've always liked ideas like that.

That emailing has been circulating for a month now, under both the conservative banner and the liberal banner..

Conservatives look upon this as reducing the dependence on imported items from China and encouraging gifts that do not need to be imported and support the local economy..

The other side views it as an effort to strangle the capitalistic tendencies of this season..

I LOVE both ideas. Very few Americans want to help support the Chinese economy or want to see mega-corporations become even more successful

1 + 1 = Common Ground

What a concept!!

Just an FYI....WalMart has been suffering big-time for 3 years now in the US. And that pleases me very much.

I was in Target today. I noticed they were trying to sell a 3-pack of a product for $7.49 and a 2-pack of the same product for $4.79.

$7.49/3 = $2.50
$4.79/2 = $2.40

So I brought them up the store manager and told her they can't sell a "value pack" for a higher per unit cost than a 2 pack and the manager asked me "why not?"

I told her "because Target would be insulting their shoppers by assuming they're stupid" I asked for the number to Target's headquarters and she told me she's straighten it out. I told her I'd be back in a week to make sure...thank you very much!

Any chance of them gifting themselves a shower, and some of that soap they mention?

Have you personally been sniffing OWS protesters?

Have you actually sniffed the young lady in your signature photo? Aren't you angry that she may smell like mustard gas?

Since you're convinced that OWS protesters need showers and soap, where are you getting that information? It wouldn't be mindless repetition would it?

I've only dropped by our local Occupy a couple of times, and they're camped at a metro stop near my work, so I see them often enough on the train. I was annoyed on a count or two when I was down there chatting them up, but otherwise nobody's been anything but polite, and nobody was stinking.

Where's your info coming from, that they all need soap and showers?

I wonder what these creeps do when there's no causes to bring them out of their little hiding places, I wouldn't want to kiss one of them, I would rather kiss a dead moose's ass.

BURN THE GERM INFESTED TENTS GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WENT ON IN THEM.
