There is something disturbing that we are going to select our Presidential candidates

[question everything]

at Pepsi center and at Xcel center (Xcel is a major gas company in the Midwest).

It is one thing to have ball games with corporate sponsors. But electing our candidates is, should be, the most democratic process.

I hope we don't start finding ads in the voting booths.

9. No, of course not

I am lamenting the fact that these arenas were named like that for exchange of money.

7. "We're a nation of consumers...and there's nothing wrong with that."

So says a TV ad I keep seeing, I believe it's for a credit card.

Luckily, consumerism is a self-correcting disease. Those who survive an outbreak usually don't fall ill again.

8. Discover Card to be specific
