Ok, so this year I went out to buy some more outside Christmas lights.
Much to my surprise, I could not find any REAL lights, just the fake led
lights. I looked at all the big box stores, including Lowe's, Home Depot,
and Target. All I could find was the fake led lights.

So, I bought a set of led lights strings with C7 led lights. 50
lights on a string, total wattage of 3.7 watts. They say these are
much cheaper to run because of the low wattage. But, I have seen that
you get what you pay for. These lights are dull and weak looking.

Does anyone here know of any store that still sells real outside
Christmas
lights, or have they all been outlawed too ?

Thanks for any info on where I can purchase non-fake Christmas lights !!

How can you even think about using real Christmas tree lights, when some
kid
in Nigeria is starving .


The ONLY reason some kid in Nigeria is starving is because its moron
mommy didn't have the sense to keep her legs closed.


Besides the fact that the comment was a sarcastic joke.... The reason is
because their government doesn't pay women that reproduce like rabbits
to raise their children. Here in the US we say "Go ahead and be a lazy
whore. Don't get a job, we will pay to take care of all your children."


Ah, a pair of "crainal-rectally inverted" bookends ;O)

When will you dumb humps figure out that it isn't the poor that is
screwing this country, it is "White Guys in Suits".

Take Obama's tax plan, please.

"White Guys in Suits" strike again! So while you guys are sniveling
about the poor, the colored, and the illegals, fat cats are whistling
all the way to the bank.

Who are youguys, some kind of flag-wrapped agent provocateurs, à la
COINTELPRO (slander and murder), trying to misdirect people's attention
attention so that they won't notice that their pockets are being picked?

If you saw "Capitalism: A Love Story", then you also know that many
Mexicans are enticed into this country by meat packers, and others. If
the Mexicans become involved in union organizing, say for safer working
conditions, management just feeds them to ICE and has them deported.

When are yougoing to get it through your thick skulls that
illegals didn't send your jobs over seas? Illegals didn't block raising
oil spill liability from $75 million to $10 billion. Illegals didn't
propose weakening of the provision on derivatives trading in the
financial regulation bill banning Wall Street firms from acting as
brokers for most forms of derivatives trades. Illegals didn't start two
vanity wars costing trillion$ of dollar$ of debt and human suffering.
Illegals didn't change banking laws so that Goldman Sachs, A.I.G., et
al. could rip-off trillion$ from the tax payer's coffers, closing
businesses and throwing people out into the street. It wasn't illegals
who wrote a health care reform law that guaranteed that insurance
companies would make more money, win or lose. Illegals didn't allow
drilling off the southern coast without enviromenmental studies. It
isn't illegals who make cheap, nutritionless faux food for for your
children to eat. Illegals didn't pollute the oceans, doing away with a
free source of food. It isn't illegals who are going to rescind funding
for welfare and children's health programs in California. It isn't
illegals who pollute the air and the water, that tax payers have to
clean up. Illegal aliens don't foul forest streams with mountain top
removal, so that we can belch more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
It isn't illegals that say that the US must have 1000 military bases
around the world and spend half of the world's military budget. It
isn't illegals who stole our national honor at Abu Ghraib and
Guantanamo. It isn't illegals who disregard collateral damage (as
Timothy McVeigh called it) in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It wasn't
illegals that wrote NAFTA, that allows the US to dump tax subsidized
corn on the Mexican market, below the cost of production, resulting in
the loss of Mexican farm jobs and a loss of income to agricultural
families. No, it wasn't illegals. It was
"White Guys in Suits",
so if you have a bone to pick, go pick it with the "White Guys in Suits".

Mexicans lower the cost of living for Americans with low cost house
cleaning, gardening, childcare, and get sick harvesting your pesticide
laden food. No stinkin' "White Guy in a Suit" ever did that for you.
grrrrr
