Response to Original message |
| 109. This is chilling. The Chamber of Commerce is turning into a stealth Gestapo. |
|
This is especially ominous since Obama genuflected to them the other day by kicking off his lovefest with, "I'm here in the interest of being more neighborly. Maybe we would have gotten off on a better foot if I had brought over a fruitcake when we first moved in." Yes, he actually said that.
We've devolved into a full on corporatocracy and they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

Is it down just because of increased traffic, or because of an actual attack made by the CoC? |
