Always wondered why people complained about the price of a movie ticket but went anyway; or about the cost to attend a major sporting event... but bought the ticket and went anyway. And it's not just the money but also who or what is behind those things we choose.
I've long ago chosen to not partake of anything sponsored by anyone whose political aims are diametrically opposed to my own.
That means I won't go to ANY movie with Susan Sarandon, Whoopie Goldberg, or, well, there are just too many to name. Much simpler to say I don't go to movies. Oh, I would have gone to see the Clint Eastwood one but just didn't make it.
I also refuse anything of Martha Stewart's now because she thinks we should "Suck it in.... pay your taxes... that's the way it is.... budget and be careful...." Well, Martha, I guess if you're a bazillionaire that's not a big problem. But for the rest of us it sort of is.
So why the hell should I give you my money? Your sheets aren't really any better than another company's, and in fact, the same company probably makes all the sheets. You are paid to put your name on some of them. You're not a political expert. Shut up and Cook.
