The c-store sells cigarettes. A poison that kills 450,000 people every year in this country. Ahh, you say - they’re not a predator – what they sell is legal. Bunk, I say! It’s a distinction without a difference. Pot doesn’t kill anybody.
The payday loan store is even worse. They smile and give you a payday loan at over 300% interest. When you can't pay it back next week, they'll smile and give you another one (with penalties and interest tacked on) - until you get hooked and then they clean you out. We put lots of these bloodsuckers on the streets just outside our military bases. Is that how Bush supports the troops?
It IS kinda funny when you look at your corner. The guy standing on the street is the ONLY ONE breaking the law. Talk about going through the looking glass!
