"The Elections Are Suspended, But There Is A Terrific Sale At Walmart !!!"
Edited on Sun Jul-11-04 02:39 PM by WillyT
Ya know what? Let's not go shopping this time around.

In fact, being the good 'god and terrorist fearing folk' that we all are, let's get a national movement going that plans for this possible attack.

Instead of depositing any more money into your savings account, ask for cash instead. Find a safe place to stash it. In fact, start drawing down, not completely, your savings and checking accounts to minimum levels. Just enough to keep the place yours, the heat going, and the lights on. Since the banks may not be safe under this attack, your gonna want to have as much cash on hand as possible. And there are some purchases you wanna make in advance.

You know, your standard emergency kit stuff. Bottled water, canned goods, batteries, etc. But do not buy a new house or condo. Don't buy a new car. Don't spend A SINGLE DIME on anything not necessary to surviving this impending disaster. Why would you want to incur any more debt at such an uncertain time in our nation's history??? You have no idea what you'll find when you emerge from your bomb-proof Port-O-Let.

And no travel!!! The terra guys may not try to use planes again, but how do we know that for sure? It could be subways, bridges, ships, rail... the list is endless, so just stay put until the emergency is over.

Course that means not showing up for work. But you know, I think all our bosses\supervisors would understand. I mean look at all those folks who died at work last time. If only they had all purchased Executive Chutes! So, in an effort to not allow a terrorist victory like that to occur again, everybody stays home. NOBODY goes to work. If your boss is a jerk about the whole idea, go see a sympathetic doctor to write you an excuse for TASS (Terrorist Alert Stress Syndrome). By election day, this malady might be running rampant!

Anyway, to sum up, start holding your own monetary resources, buy only things necessary to survive this terrorist\election crisis, and stay at home purchasing nothing else, and working for nobody until they tell us it's safe and they hold the actual elections.

And let's see how those fuckers like THEM APPLES!!!

:grr::nuke::mad:

BTW - If you feel you must do something, grab you friends and families, your tents and sleeping bags, your bottled water and canned goods, and set up camp at every seat of government you can find. Right on their front lawn. For me, it will be the lawn at the CA State Capitol building here in Sacramento. For others, it might be the mall in Washington D.C. for others still, it could be City Hall or where ever your local government meets. They'll be scared too, and it might be comforting for them to see hundreds and thousands of their constituents encamped so nearby as to reassure them. We could invite them for some canned beans.

This time, don't go shopping... go camping!!!

1. I like your ideas a lot...except...
By all means cut spending. That would do all of us, and the country as well, a lot of good.

But most of us need our jobs, and in a * economy it's dangerous to mess with the boss too much. Better - show up for work and do the minimum amount to keep off the radar screens.

It also wouldn't be a bad idea to get to know the neighbors. Maybe even have a backyard cookout. Discuss working together and helping each other. Who knows, maybe someone will bring up how many layoffs there have been under chimpy. :evilgrin:

2. I'd prefer a general strike myself
should elections be canceled (or postponed, which to me is the same thing).

But we live in America, not France.

16. Not A Big Enough Wine Cellar For Me !!!
:hi::evilgrin::hi:

But I did like how it fit just one person. Can just imagine the executive out-running his wife and kids to the door, and tellin them to use the basement instead. Gotta keep the bread-winner alive after all.

The days of 'women and children first' are over for these greedy self-important bastards!

EDIT: oh, and I've been completely boycotting Wall Mart for six months so far - I don't miss them flag selling traitors either.
