How's this for life in a "free" America. Evidently there is a law on the books in Massachusetts stating that certain businesses cannot open on specific holidays. One of the specific holidays is Thanksgiving. Last year certain Whole Foods stores opened on Thanksgiving, thus irritating their competitors. This year the competitors managed to get to the politicians, and the hammer has been lowered. If Whole Foods opens this Thursday, criminal charges will be filed. Massachusetts, the birthplace of the American Revolution, and now a state where people can be charged with crimes for selling perfectly legal products on days that their competitors don't want them to. Amazing.
Its getting scary folks. :(

The only freedom we have here is to out our opinions and take the punishment for it like a man.
The US is starting to remind me of the ex-DDR more and more.I am actually surprised we have not yet walls arround each state with little checkpoint Charlies allover the place,like it was in Berlin,and do not need a passport to exit the state of GA.
This great country is beeing ruined more and more.One wonders how long it'll take before all hell will break lose!
I guess the US became bored of suing as a hobby,so now the US needs a new hobby to destroy peoples life even faster.To be honestly,the US has be confused...
Like I have said before, I blame the people of this country because together we can change alot of the shit that is going on. The problem to me is that they spend so much time blameing everybody else and each other that they miss the point of how to change it. There is to much hate and anger in this old world and it is sad. The solution is so simple but I guess that is to much for the human mind to comprehend.
The future for my children and their children is not very bright and the darkness they face could become a black hole for all.
Posted by: sompopo at November 22, 2005 12:33 PMMy observation is that many Americans do not want to change things.The comfort factor is just much more efficient then going through the trouble of changing things.Everyone complains,bitches and doesn't agree but virtually NO ONE is getting off their ass and DOES something about it.Its very sad.Getting together and changing things is a nice thought,the problem is that one does not trust the other.We make a big deal out of NOTHING and where it really counts only few get up and do something.And then there are those who are big with their mouth but when you ask them to help you change things,they all a sudden back out and don't know you.
When it comes down to it..US citizens fucked this country up and now they don't want to change it,they want the government to change it for them (fucking Kerry lovers).Yeah right....the result is what we live with now!
Why you think so many people are so FAT?They are too fucking lazy to get off their ass and DO SOEMTHING and rather have OTHERS do it FOR them!We are fat....lets sue McDonalds...nope,lets not stop eating junk,lets just make McDonals the bad guy.
I am thinking (hoping) you catch my draft....
Exactly...
