Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 How absurd. John Mackey, the CEO of one of the top natural food companies in America, comes out with an alternative to Obama's health care plan and sheep all across America decide to boycott his store. It's like if anybody dares even to QUESTION our Great Leader and his Divine Plans for America, they must be crushed. What's with these people? Maybe I'm getting old, because I can still remember that great bumper sticker from the '60s: QUESTION AUTHORITY. I wonder what bumper sticker these people prefer? Probably something like: IF YOU QUESTION THE AUTHORITIES WE WILL CRUSH YOU Here is what he wrote: http://is.gd/2sXJ6 Even if you disagree with his ideas, what is there in this opinion piece that warrants a boycott? I would suspect that a large majority of Americans would agree with these ideas. If we're going to picket and boycott somebody, why not President Obama and Congress instead? They are waging undeclared war on at least two countries that have not harmed us in any way. They also just engineered the biggest financial heist in world history, a series of unconstitutional transfers of hundreds of billions of dollars from middle class taxpayers to upper class millionaires and billionaires who ran their companies into the ground. Has John Mackey done anything even remotely comparable to the damage these criminals have done? And now they are trying to drive our economy completely off the cliff by spending trillions more on so-called " health care reform. " Personally, I hope they fail, because I see nothing good in their plan whatsoever. In my opinion, Mackey's proposals at http://is.gd/2sXJ6 are FAR better than anything the president and his allies have come up with I'm going to shop at Whole Foods even more now.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Having criticized Judy for using " pig " as an epithet, I guess I will have to criticize myself for doing the same thing with " sheep. " Sorry, sheep! Mark _____ On Behalf Of Mark H Friday, August 21, 2009 11:06 PM DON'T boycott Whole Foods How absurd.
