Karl Childers explains it all
Just an interesting commentary on how Western Civilization is slouching towards Gomorrah. Would it suffice to say that I'm not surprised the Chubb and Dickstein are on the list? I mean.... that only makes sense.

Grrr...what does one do when both a company and its competitors are on the list? >_>
ReplyDeleteYou got the Gap and Hewlett (Fudge) Packard on the list too.
ReplyDeleteyou mean, i've got to boycott all of these, oh wait, i don't shop at 3/4ths of them anyway, lol
ReplyDeleteI think a shorter list would be who doesn't have "gay friendly" policies.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Jesusfreak84 said. I don't know how to avoid all those companies all the time.
ReplyDeleteNo way to avoid them all.
ReplyDeleteGot room in that cave for one more?
you'll wind up having to get your laser printer from Acer, as HP & Lexmark are both on the list. You'll have to get your next OS from distrowatch, and your next (AMD powered) PC from cyberpowerpc.com, insure your Honda with Farm Bureau, and put it on your Discover card while drinking RC Cola.
ReplyDeleteBorders and Barnes & Noble? Darn, I guess I'll be spending more time at Booksamillion.
