    Typical. I’m talking about school board members who have been threatened, and you’re mindlessly wittering on about looting. Because I’ve shown you you’re wrong, you change the subject.

    Nice try, nimrod.

    Free market, baby! Say stuff that your company thinks will adversely affect sales, and out you go.

    If the CEO of the company I work for started saying stuff like “birth control is of the Devil” he’d be out within the hour.
