Yeah. Suz, no offense, but you have no future in .debate if you're
going to be coherent. Sheesh. ;)
Actually, I've kept silent in the debate, because I'm of two minds--
yes, it's fraudulent, but in fact they've anticipated it and still do
not change their policies--for exaclty the reasons you mentioned.
And you know what? It works! And even the guilt works in their
favor--I then go back to those stores to spend money on other things
I need as a way of perhaps salving my conscience.
