Get Out Your Rotting Tomatoes...

So I don’t really see what everyone is complaining about with this war. I hear the comparisons of the US to a schoolyard bully who beats little kids up and takes their lunch money; except, instead of lunch money we are taking oil. It seems to make sense, except that when we win this war, we won’t get any free oil, we’re still going to have to pay for it. Hopefully we won’t pay nearly as much though. That’s why I see this war as a form of haggling – except with guns.

What happened to haggling anyway? I mean there’s your free-market economy right there. Have you ever walked into a store, perhaps a Walmart and tried to haggle over the price of some item? More than likely you will get to meet the friendly store security guards as they kick your ass right out of the store. Where can you really haggle any more? Flea Markets? Ebay? Great, so I can haggle over someone else’s used, useless crap, but over objects that are definitely overpriced, we get an absolute price… great. Even car sales are moving away from haggling; then again, when was the last time anyone ever out-haggled a car salesman

and it you thought that was awful, wait until you see the crap I post tomorrow...
