"Indeed, if there is one sentiment that unites the crises in Europe and America it is a powerful sense of “baby boomers behaving badly” — a powerful sense that the generation that came of age in the last 50 years, my generation, will be remembered most for the incredible bounty and freedom it received from its parents and the incredible debt burden and constraints it left on its kids." ~ THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN But, the baby boomers are lying low, and rat holing the assets. They are counting on their Republican party government to cuddle them through their clash with the younger generation. “Whe

I thought that may have been what they were doing. But, I think that they were making money, it just wasn't making enough money to fill their Jabba The Hutt appetite.

Gap did the right thing by getting out of the United States, but I don't think they are through with us. They will be trying to keep the U.S. market. W need to start guarding against commerce of this nature, let them sell to the rest of the world; not us. We can take care of ourselves without Gap. Imported articles should be taxed to hell and back, in this country. "The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied... Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, s

People are not as truthful as they should be, HWAM! I am disliked for telling the truth. If these people were not so pampered in their emotional feelings they might be shamed into actually rising above being screwed by the con people. I am not anger with them, but they should do like I always say, Stand Up, Speak Out, And Talk Back to con artists who talk from their teeth out.

LPPT, You are nailing actually right on the head, girl! I think I love ya!

You are getting profit and greed together like synonyms , LC, but they are antonym.. Greed is gluttony! Profit is earnings! I would not expect a restaurant to stay open if it wasn't earning it's keep, LC, but I would not want a restaurant to stay open if it was glutting on resources, to fulfill a greedy Jabba the Hutt appetite.

Here's the kind of survival Gap wants, LC! And, it's not survival, It's greed. Libyan rebels ransack home of Gaddafi daughter in Sirte

This is not the first time South Carolina has been under federal assault. Georgian's wished hardship on them, also, in 1864. "...we are not only fighting hostile armies, but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war, as well as their organized armies. I know that this recent movement of mine through Georgia has had a wonderful effect in this respect. Thousands who had been deceived by their lying newspapers to believe that we were being whipped all the time now realize the truth, and have no appetite for a repetition of the same experience

Feeling no passion for fellow citizens, and having no principle in the way you take care of business, is a sad life for the business owners of Gap. I don't care if my fellow citizens hate me, I am not going to abandon them. If we don't wake up and smell the flowers of our own gardenias, and magnolias, we will all wind up sniffing Chinese arse.

I think this Country should come to it's senses about conservative stores like Gap. They tend to be the model for what was said about corporations by the Chief Author of out Declaration of Independence. "The selfish spirit of commerce knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain."

I am proud that GAP stepped up to the plate, and admitted that China is where they need to be. I just hope they stay there, and don't market any of their products here, unless they pay big time for that opportunity.

That sounds like the kind of thinking the Gadaffi family, in Libya, was used to. Libyan rebels ransack home of Gaddafi daughter in Sirte --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Going door to door to some of the the mega rich people's homes has occurred, right here in the U.S. recently. I hope this kind of inquiry technique takes hold in OWS protester tactics. We need to know what they find. Their reasoning for doing the door to door inquiries, now, in because there is a 2% tax these mega rich people have been pa

It has gotten better, cletus, before Obama became a turn coat and started cuddling Buffet and his mega rich buddies. This looks so much like Obala showing his new Republican emotions.

I'm going to vote for the Texas Governor, in the primary, and if Obama straightens up, I will vote for him in the general. If he doesn't I am not going to vote in the General. I do work at the polls, though, and I will continue to do that.

I don't go to much on my feelings, cletus! I have learned, in life, not to spend a lot of time on my on what I want. I spend a lot of time on what other people want, unless I think they are numb scull bigots, who's brain is like the pupil of the eye, which contracts at any sign of approaching light. But, common sense people can get a lot out of me. I help people who need help. Now it may not be the help they want , because I refuse to buy a person cigarettes, and I want give a wino any money. I will take a person into a store and buy them something to eat, if I think they are hungry.

That's after they start doing some of the stuff the young people, of 1968, did in Chicago. They were chanting shoot tho kill, Mr. Police. shoot to kill. Some of them did get shot, and the holes were small. But, it was the ones whipped with the billy clubs that bled the most. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Could you shootem down, IC, is they told you to "shoot me, " "shoot to kill?"

You've got that right, cletus! The problem we have is what is called "quid pro quo." Quid pro quo (From the Latin meaning "what for what") indicates a more-or-less equal exchange or substitution of goods or services. English speakers often use the term to mean "a favor for a favor" and the phrases with almost identical meaning include: "what for what", "give and take", "tit for tat", "this for that", and "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours". ~ Wikipedia It's said but the American people simply don't understand "quid pro quo." ----------------------------------------

This cracks me up, cletus! Backing abroad: A group of elderly Chinese people gather at a park in Zhengzhou to show their support More than 7,000 miles away from New York, a group of elderly Chinese people were pictured gathering at a park in Zhengzhou, in central China's Henan province, to show their support. China's state-controlled media has widely reported the growing demonstrations in the U.S. Banners and slogans said: 'Resolutely supporting the American people’s mighty "Wall Street revolution"' and 'United, proletarians around the world', reported the Wall St

I saw some blood get drained, in Chicago in 1968, I didn't want to be killed, like some of them did, with heir death wish. http://youtu.be/KAOXnenrYGA

They've got holes in the back for when the boys get horny for a banker, and no girls are around. When they start the "Burn Baby Burn," chant you will see some head knocking going on. I saw it in the mid 60's.

Halloween theme: Pumpkins with the faces of bankers are displayed at the Occupy LA camp on Sunday.

Hitting on them, Mr.Dis it what it take. You are too kind to them. Take a little advise from Jillian Michaels, and actually help these people. You have probably see her handle fat people, on The Biggest Looser. I'v seen a two headed snake, markdavd, but how common is that?

I agree 100%, with that, LC!

Obama caught streaking, on that street, DR! He wanted to show the public that black is , indeed, beautiful.

Oh, that's great, DR! I'll be so happy to have you back around. Third Army Road would take you to my house, with a few twists and turns. to get to Town Lake Pkwy.
