1. Thanks for the heads up .
Amway seems to be a religion unto itself,-disregard that, more like a cult.
Some scary people there.

2. Really too bad about In-n-Out
Other than the JeeZus pitch on the napkins...which I just ignore... they're a great company. Even the author of Fast Food Nation praised them. (See the interview with Morgan Spurlock on the Super Size Me DVD.) That family has turned down millions of dollars from greedhead franchisers who want to steal the name and the goodwill associated with it.

In-n-Out is noted for treating their employees well, including medical benefits and promotion from within. (There's usually a long waiting list to work there.) Everything is made fresh on the spot, and the places are always sparkling clean inside.

Considering their Jesus-Fetish, what happened to their bumper stickers must annoy them. They used to give away big red-and-white bumper stickers saying "In-N-Out Burger."

Every teenager in my neighborhood had one on their car, subtly altered to read: "In-N-Out Urge."

:evilgrin:

4. Walmart...
The worst by far and the hardest to boycott, by far. The ironical thing is that this place actually is the display of Chinese industry...

5. If you buy a Chevrolet chances are it was delivered to the dealer
by Allied Automotive Group (AAG) - a nationwide, Union Car-Haul company that has in its mission statement something to the effect "We are a Christian company and will operate according to Christian principles" At least it is Teamsters. I used to work for them and during orientation i was introduced to the company pastor. I told him that i doubted i would be requiring his services!
