3. This includes 3 big media companies! No "free" press here.
Disney owns ABC, General Electric (GE) owns NBC, and Time-Warner owns CNN. No wonder the networks are so biased--their owners are all giving big bucks to Bush!

6. I was on ten prescriptions a year ago
and now I'm only on four, all generics. Yes, I don't feel as well, and I'm walking a little funnier, but long periods of unemployment do that to us.

I have been buying food. I spin, dye, weave and knit, so that took care of Xmas. If something conks out, I fix it myself or buy a replacement at a second hand store or I learn to do without.

I'm done with the consumer society until it starts treating me better.
