 Beer Bottle I went to a local pub this weekend and asked for a budlight. On the bottle was a Mexican flag and a soccer ball. When we have boys in Iraq I will not drink a beer that has a mexican flag on it. I live in America, not prejudice but I think this was a bad move on Budweiser's part. Several people joined in the stand and the owner called Budweiser and had different beer bottles delivered but several of us did not switch back. Why wasn't an American flag on the bottle the printing would have been the same.     |

| ...good deal...I have a ? though. Do you shop at Walmart? What kind of car do you drive? Where are your clothes made? What's worse than buying a beer with a mexi flag on it is buying anything that comes from China. Several cents for every dollar they make goes to support their military and such. It's easy for you to "take a stand" on the beer because it has a flag on it but if you look deeper look at all the things you have that come from China...

| And thanks to the current government's over support of big business and outsourcing of jobs it's getting harder and harder to actually Buy American... Well unless you are Chinese then they'll sell you as much of America as you want to purchase.

| I'm sure most business owners would call this good business practice and as our Mexican population grows it will only get worse. Some think taking advantage of government benefits is just good business, it doesn't bother them how it affects the rest of us or the country. Its all about money and votes

I'm still proud to say that I haven't set foot in WalMart since the end of November. It's too bad Papa Murphy's is in WalMart, I kinda like their pizza, but part of the money I would spend on a pizza would go to Walmart in the way of rent on the space that Papa Murphys pays to be in that location. Somebody should create a program kinda like AA to help people kick their WalMart habit. Also, anybody who hasn't seen the dvd "WalMart- The High Cost of Low Price" should try to buy or rent that dvd, it might just open your eyes. It is made by a man named Robert Greenwald. You can buy it here for just $12.95 http://www.walmartmovie.com/

| Shopping? So Bubba, Where do you shop in Dodge? Just Dillons or do you go out of town now? I would love to give up Walmart, but I am at a loss really. I need guidance, I guess. Although I don't think the other half would give it up. Addiction is a b*tch!! The Joker |

| Thanks! Dear Bubba, Thanks for the info!! I will keep that in mind and might have to talk with the other half and see what happens!! I can't stand Walmart, never have. I do shop Dillons when I am alone. I like the atmosphere there better. Smaller and easier to find stuff. But when I am with hubby, he prefers the other. The Joker |
