You either believe we have a Rule of Law (one aspect many immigrants used to really like about the U.S.) in the U.S. or you don't. I supported Obama in 2008 (I stupidly molded him into what I thought he might become -- very uncharacteristic of me), but now have a very low opinion of him. The bondholders were first in line to receive equity after the 'reorganization' and Obama essentially flipped the bondholders the bird and allowed that equity to go to the unions instead.

Academy is a sporting goods and outdoor chain that has about 150 stores. I used to purchase needed items there. One day, a couple of years ago, I read a police log report in the newspaper. A customer had her car broken into in the parking lot of an Academy store. A policeman asked the store for the camera footage that would cover the time the customer was away from the car. The store's position was that they wouldn't provide the footage unless a judge ordered them to do it. I said to myself that a store that is that unhelpful to a customer doesn't deserve my business and I haven't walked into an Academy store since (and there is one about 4 miles from my house).

When the O'Malley family still owned the Dodgers, the way they treated one player pissed me off so much that I said I'm never going to be responsible for putting another dollar in the O'Malley's pocket again. I never again went to a Dodger game until AFTER they sold the team to Fox....and I'll never go to Petco Park again (some O'Malley family members are part of the new Padres ownership group)

I carry my beliefs to the core of my being and try to live a life as devoid of hypocrisy as possible.

The UAW is mostly to blame for the poor quality of American Automobiles. They had to use lesser cost materials to compensate for excessively compensated UAW workers. Any group of people that stikes because they believe paying 10% of their medical insurance and benefits, is putting a huge drain on a company. Then there is the 90% pay when they are "laid off". That shit is stupid, labor unions have no place in todays business world.
