What a moot post. Have you nothing more intelligent to contribute aside from some text speak?

I have decided to take my money to local small businesses for MY OWN reasons. Simply because the majority of you disagree will not convince me that buying loads of low-quality crap NOW will somehow be better than saving and buying higher quality products from local merchants. I was taught that spending MY money should always be conscious effort. I CHOOSE to know where my money is going and if that means helping to fund "Pa's" kids college education, more the better.

Incidentally, I don't point crooked fingers and make nasty insinuations about someone's intelligence because they choose to shop at a retailer whose business practices, while incredibly successful, I PERSONALLY find distasteful.

But then again, I probably understand better than most the ability to exercise said rights. My husband will get a chuckle out of the fact that he goes to Afghanistan leaving a rather conservative wife to return home to a tree hugging, economically inept isolationist. It's gratifying to see Americans exercising the rights he and his Brethren provide you... AND ME!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
