Well, call it what you want, Kim. You told me that you're an informed
consumer that routinely researches the products you buy.


No, Dwight. I did *not* say that at all. In fact, here is what I said:

"And, while I don't ponder global
economic implications with every shopping experience, I certainly do a lot
of the time."


Is this really where you get your information from, Kim? I stopped
looking
after seeing the prominent "Boycott Bush" link on the
www.ethicalconsumer.org home page. If this site is at all typical of the
others, these are sites pushing their own little agendas, not sources of
accurate and reliable consumer information.


Then, get your own damned sites, Dwight. Point is, become smart about what
you're buying. And if you're going to disregard all of something just
because of a part of it you don't like, then you'll never get
anywhere--other than where you are right now: able to spew a bunch of crap
with no basis in fact or reality.

You really are lazy, eh, Dwight?

For cryin' out loud, Dwight, who the phucking (HansTM) hell
do you think is going to keep "business, the government, and
the courts" responsible?

Well, isn't that just an astonishing revelation, Kim? Did you just now
realize this entire discussion is all within the context of this country,
it's people, and their system of government? That's what's going on in
this
thread, Kim - people discussing what they think their government should
do.

Kim, just two or three messages ago, I said:
"You and I both knew you couldn't do it, Kim.

The information it not that easily available and it

would take considerable effort for consumers to
research the products they purchase each day,

week, or year. In spite of your claims otherwise,

you don't do it." (snip)



You responded directly to that with:
"Dwight, are you calling me a liar? Yes, I have

done it, and yes it is not all that difficult to do."

Kim, when it comes to mainstream consumer information, I'm as well
educated as most anyone else, most certainly including you. But we were
talking about the economy - more specifically, the impact of consumer
purchasing trends on the economy ("shoppers not going to the store to ponder
global economic implications," "economic awareness," and so on) and how
difficult it is to find substantial economics-related information (which
companies are moving factories overseas, foreign business investments, and
so on). We were (I was) not talking about environmental issues (the Exxon
Valdez oil spill you mentioned) or other such topics. Now, just like
everyone else, you're certainly free to bring up those other topics, but
please don't apply something I've said about economics to those topics.


Gads, you're an ass Dwight...


Only when speaking with one, Kim.

It's a far stretch from the above, to stating that *I* said I am an informed
consumer that routinely researches the products I buy. I stated nothing of
the sort. Have it your way, though, Dwight. You're desperate to be
right...so be it.
