but we have quite a bit of disposable income. we go out to eat, I buy stuff on ebay
all the time, etc. we would just stop buying anything EXCEPT necessities. I mean it
would only be for 4 years. I think I got enough fur coats, boots, etc to last that
long. Got enough furniture. The problem as I see it is that the very wealthiest
people and companies are buying more and more of our elections every year. I think
if a significant number of people just stopped buying everything but the necessities
for a while it may put a dent in the amount of money they can dump on "their"
candidates. OTOH, maybe I should just take all my disposable income and only buy
stuff made by Democrats.
the whole reimportation from Canada is bullshit. production of many if not most
drugs is out sourced to other countries already, that is why we are coming up short
on flu vaccine.
I find it unbelievable that W insist he is protecting Americans from sub-standard
drugs from Canada and then in the next breath says we are working with Canadians to
get flu vaccine from them.

real world, I shop at the grocery store, take medication when needed, grow what
I can.

I am pretty ****ed off about the whole prescription drug thing with Canada. Why
is it WE can make the drugs, export them out to Canada, but they can't import
them back because they could be sub-standard? Are we selling sub-standard drugs
to Canada?

I have already decided that if Kerry doesnt win I am going to stop spending any money
for anything except absolute necessities. I am going to keep my money under the
cushions, not in the bank. I will encourage everyone in this country to simply go on
strike against the wealthy corporations who have bought the politicians. Ingrid

I had the same thought the other day of voting straight party democrat. I
fluctuate between Bush is going to win and our country will suffer circumstances
we'll never recover from; to Kerry will win in a landslide because of all the
new voters, young voters, etc, who are probably not counted in these idiotic
polls.
