Christopher Walken was pretty funny, huh? "I'm sold!!!! I just went to his web site and my eyes were opened! I will make it a point to watch out for him. There is such a real lack of talent in Hollywood, so it's refreshing to see a natural.

What if Michelin profits were going to Iraq rather than France? Would that be OK also?
To: Mamzelle
DMC embroidery thread is also 'Made in France'. (or so the label on mine says...)

I called my VIET NAM Vet cousin tonight, the one who works for Michelin and he said to tell you to go and __________ yourself!!
His oldest son made quite a sacrifice in the Gulf War... he was wounded and still has problems with the wounds.
So, I would like to add to my cousin's comments
WHAT DID YOU SACRIFICE IN THE LAST GULF WAR, buddy???? And, it better be GREAT !
The people of Greenville, S.C. have a long history of service to this country....my cousins and I had 12 ancestors in the American Revolution, several of them from the Great State of S.C. In fact, several were at the battles of King's Mountain and Cowpens...just up the road from present day Greenville.
My dad was a West Point Graduate and landed on D-DAY in France. My youngest son was in the last Gulf War!! My husband is a Vet.
DON'T EVER LECTURE MY FAMILY ABOUT SACRIFICE IN WARS FOR THIS COUNTRY...Our family has been in every war this country ever had!!
Do not ever post to me again!
To: crazykatz
LOLOL
This is so funny. All I ever said is that we all have to make sacrifices. And I get a lecture on the American Revolution.

Just listening to Fox n Friends and a man was on from
www.citizensunited.org
His web site is presently in a campaign to boycott French and German products.
He says that these leaders need to be taught a lesson that their actions have consequences.

No Yoplait yogurt, either. I heard that Yoplait was being bought by Nike. They are going to target market their core basketball product audience by changing the name to "Yo! Play!"
At least, that's what I heard.
To: Michael Sidiropoulos
Liten up you .... YOU SIT AROUND AND WRITE ABOUT SOME STUPID BOYCOT OF PRODUCTS MADE IN THE USA, BY AMERICANS FOR AMERICANS.
YOU CALL THAT A SACRIFICE???? HOW ABSOLUTELY ABSURD!!!
NEVER SUGGEST TO ANYBODY IN MY FAMILY THAT WE NEED TO SACRIFICE ANYTHING!!!
WHAT DID YOU OR YOURS DO IN ANY WAR... IN THE SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY, BUDDY??
DID YO ALL BOYCOTT GRAPESHOT AND BULLETS??
That I would believe!

Thanks very much for your list. It's the most complete that I have found so far. I have downloaded it and am giving it out to everyone who's been asking. Re the Hachette group, these are the mags we have to cancel our subscriptions to because they are owned by the (french-owned) Legardere folks: 18 titles including American Photo, Boating, Car and Driver, Car Stereo Review's Mobile Entertainment, Cycle World, ELLE, ELLE Decor, ELLEgirl, Flying, Home, Metropolitan Home, Popular Photography, Premiere, Road & Track, Sound & Vision, Travel Holiday, Woman's Day and Woman's Day Special Interest Publications. (No more fascism - at least not on my credit card! Boycott France if you care about freedom.)

Also, I noticed you didn't have T-Fal or Silpat on there. Lots of folks buy their cookware. We need to start spreading the word that buying their products is helping to support fascists, too.

Farmers and others in agricultural businesses use a French imported sulfur product Thiolux. There are non-French alternatives. This grape farmer will use a different, non-French product this year.
