Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

Blue states are boycotting red states?

I just found this on a Yahoo message board for the article: FBI Reports 14 Murders Among 7,489 Hate Crimes

My jaw almost hit the floor. Are we not still all Americans? A ploy like this would hurt us ALL. And these are supposed to be the super-educated, intelligent, open-minded and productive members of our country? If so, then we are in trouble. These are probably the same people who praise Yasser Arafat and condemn the Marine who shot a terrorist. I'm actually at a loss for words about this.

Boycott Red States
Check labels for origination and distribution locations. Buy alternative to food products from states like California, Washington state, Oregon, New York state. Start a letter writing campaign to let business interests in red states know their products are being targeted for a boycott. Re-electing a cut-taxes and spend president is causing an economic burden on America. Share the experience with our red state brethren. I also recommend that people in blue states write their legislators to push in Congress against using their tax dollars to fund red state welfare programs. Vacation in the blue states. Deny tourism dollars to red states.

Here is a short list of blue state online tourism guides:

Retailers:
  • Target*, Sears, Kmart, Meijer, BestBuy, Farmer Jack, State Farm, Dunkin’
    Donuts are BLUE
  • Walmart, Sam's Club, Circuit City, Kroger, Wachovia are RED
Boycott Red State hams this holiday season, too. Here's a delicious Vermont ham: http://www.harringtonham.com/index.cfm

Most pet foods are produced in Red States. Try Wellness brand foods, made in Lowell, MA, and give your pet a real treat. http://www.omhpet.com/index.asp

Blue Gasoline Retailers:
As long as we're paying the big bucks for gas - might as well spend it to BLUE business. The Blue Gas Companies: Amoco, Arco, Chevron, Occidental, Petroleum, Sun Oil Company (Sunoco), Unocol, BP, Total

Most of the most commonly seen gas stations are headquartered in Texas, and less obviously, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Virginia, and Ohio.

Netscape, AOL, BLUE. Linux, BLUE. Don't forget my beloved Apple Computer! As true BLUE as they come. YEAH! GOODY!

And Janeane Garofalo said on Sean Hannity's radio show the other day that the Bush-supporters are the angry ones? Holy Moses! I don't know ... I just don't know what's going to happen as a result of this election. I really don't. I'm afraid of what these irrational people will do.
