Well, hey, John Travolta, Spiro Agnew and J.R. "Bob" Dobbs own shares in
a mutual fund that in turn owns 1 percent of every comapny every
founded. So what the fuck? They also own Norman municipal bonds, so if
you ever voted FOR a bond issue TARLA, that was tax-free money to a
clam. (They were shits to "out" you, I agree, but you will have one HELL
of a time tracking down what to buy and what to avoid considering the
nature of this country's ownership system.)
You can get silly with this shit -- I'm not going to buy so-and-so
because of such-and-such.
What percentage ownership do you draw the line?

Don't come to Boston, then - they've started installing locks on the
restrooms of the McDonald's outfits here. You have to get a token from
the front counter - i.e. buy food there - before you can get rid of it.

Yes ... as I once said to my sister when she was telling me that
shunning certain brands was sufficient, if the corporation gets
ANY message out of it, it will be that they need to put brighter
colors on the package.

Tell me about this, please: what exactly were they doing that was
offensive? Now I know there must have been a good reason to oppose
them, I just want to know *what* it was.

Tell me, dammit, tell me! For that matter, what about Del Monte and
other companies you oppose?

Here's another one for you. Disney bought ABC, yes? Well, recently
there was an episode of "Roseanne" where the family went to Disneyland.
I didn't see the episode, but I hear it didn't have any humor at ALL
in it, it was merely a half hour commercial for Disneyland. Real
nice company, huh?
It gets worse. ABC also backs Bob Grant, a racist radio host, while firing
his *critics*. You'd think ABC would lose Grant after putting Mickey Mouse
in charge -- Mickey being black and all -- but apparently not.
To my way of thinking, ABC is evil, as is Disney.
And Gerber, at least fifteen to twenty years ago, was telling mothers
in third world countries that their formulas are better for infants
than breast milk, even watered down to stretch it. Babies were
starving to death to enhance corporate profits.
And folks think I'm naive to think that the government should try to
put controls on business. I don't trust government very far either,
but I don't see they could make matters much worse.
I suppose I should soothe my ireful conscience by talking about
saucers raining death from the skies, but I won't.

ARGH! A POX! I can't remember it either and it's going to drive me

Possibly Pontifette Meg (who doesn't pay to see movies starring

So who says you have to go in the bathroom to empty your bladder at McDonalds?
