Comment on Worst Commercial Ever by Mez

Hey lady – fuck that shit. Wal-Mart destroys three jobs for every one it creates, and that commercial makes CEOs money off your husband’s blood. It’s disgusting, and companies like Wal-Mart will continue to profit off of human suffering so long as they convince hard-working middle-class folks like you that they have your best interests at heart. They don’t. They want to take you for all that you’re worth.

THEY LIVE – WE SLEEP

Comment on Fighting for the Right to Hang…Laundry by mom

I live in an area where nobody hangs laundry but I have a huge backyard and would love to. In my earlier childhood clothes were hung out still.
Yes it would save money, but I really just miss that most wonderful smell of sheets and clothes hung in the sunshine.
It cannot be duplicated! My husband says he has never smelled it. How sad!

i am sssooo glad to see that i am not the only person that thinks the rules against hanging your cloths on a line to dry are some of the most idiotic rules that i have seen yet !!!!
On the same hand i do agree that hanging your unmetionables outside might be pushing it a lil to far but my question is this , think back to before they had dryers was the ozon going away like it is today?

NO it was not , i personally do not like to hang my undies out side but when you are on a fixed income like myself and you have laundry to do well what is the most important thing to me is to make sure my children have clean cloths to wear and food in their tummies. And if that means my clothes ,minus undies and such, get hung out to dry well then there should be no way that i will get looked at as being trashy or for that matter actually get in trouble with the law based simply on that alone then we are in worse times than even i thought.

I find it sad that people are looking at this as a trashy thing to when there are all kinds of people doing alot worse that could be concidered trashy, the nit- picking that goes on in this country has become rediculus, and with the economy looking the way it does who can blame anyone for cutting corners where they can ?

So heck ya i am all for any effort that you may find to get some of these things fixed, it is a greener way to live , and yes it does save money in the long run , so my hats are off to you for helping to give the lil guy a voice!!

Coal is a major factor in the economic success of Kentucky. What will replace it and how will the poor people of Kentucky afford high energy bills when you allget your way and wipe out coal? I hear all these grand judgments but no solutions. Typical.

WE THE PEOPLE is a mighty powerful statement!!

we are given the right, too often we choose to not to exercise it, and then complain when we must live with the consequences!

i must confess that i have not read ellison, but i feel sure much is not it there. i have read the denton book and am well aware of much information that was not in her book.
