there is something you can do

don't put up with it. whenever you see some business trying to glom onto "the troops", go to the manager and register your firm opposition. you'll probably be thought an "unpatriotic" wack job, but there are worse things in life.

just had an incident tonight at a grocery store where girl scouts outside the door were soliciting customers to buy cookies to benefit "troops" in iraq (i.e., murderous, traitorous, unprincipled milfare recipients). after telling the sadly indoctrinated little girl that i did not want troops in iraq, and that they shouldn't be there, i went back in the store and asked to speak privately with the manager.

usually when you go into a store and ask to speak privately with the manager, it's nearly guaranteed some nosy staff fuck will hang out just to listen in. happened this evening, and this scumbag meat cutter tried to have an argument with me. i turned to the manager and asked if the meat cutter was part of the conversation. the manager said no, but was too much of a pussy to deliver effective orders for the fuck to butt out. when it became clear to the meat cutter that i wasn't talking to him, he muttered, "freaking loser" and acted as if to walk away. then i got in his face and asked what he said. first he said he didn't say anything, then he said him saying "freaking loser" didn't mean he was talking to me, then he said that if i had a problem being called "freaking loser", that said something about me. meanwhile, the pussy manager was unheeded, even when he put his hand on the guy to push him away and mentioned something about suspending him.

the meat cutter said, "i won't get suspended", and refused to leave. under the supervision of any manager with balls, he would have been fired right then. this indicates some strange shit going on with the ignorant of this country, all of it based on the supposition that if one's told to murder by the correct party, he's absolved for all time for the subsequent murder(s).

i pronounced the situation a disaster, walked out to my car, and called national HQ for the store, making a detailed report. sure, they don't give a fuck about people like me, but that's only because many of the people who oppose the manifold destruction emanating from US foreign murder don't have balls enough to point to all the guilty parties. since it requires little logic, i doubt it's a logic failure; it's failure to remain free of psychotic self-delusion. horribly untenable action often produces such episodes.

open your yapper. prepare to stop shopping at places you shopped since you were a kid. individuals have immediate, tangible power in the market. just takes enough of 'em. speak up. make it uncomfortable as fuck for businesses to play the "support the troops" baloney card. call their bullshit straight to face. doesn't matter how many presidents issue orders, nor how many girl scouts enter the equation, there is never cause to support what has been done by milfare recipients in iraq — all of them traitors to their oaths to defend the US constitution from all enemies.
