Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Bitchin'!

I wanna boycott because it makes noise! What a load of BS! This is a crowning example of where NAACP really fails to make itself credible. If they would look at the numbers, there is no real reason to throw a fit. Then F 'em, don't build there and let them exercise atrition onto their "constituents". What a ruddy bother, why put forth the time to type it? Oh, look ... they started using blue ink in the newspaper, that must be racially motivated.

I've been with thousands of beers, throughout all these years

I keep drinking and peeing and peeing and drinking, and always too soon!

searching for analogy

I couldn't find a comparably bad horror film to relate it to Hills Have Eyes, until I saw Cerpicio's blog, then remembered Cabin Fever. Now that had terrible with horrorible, splashed grossly with wretched. I suppose it was better than Cabin Fever, but only that it had better special effects. As a side note: Hills Have Eyes had the serial killer from Silence of the Lambs ("Hannibal the Cannibal" helps find man sewing woman suit), captured by mutant cannibals. How ironic! He also plays the detective on Monk (series on USA) -- Ted Levine.

wrongful use of information

"Since you previously purchased a book by Lemony Snicket, we wanted to let you know that the author's new book, The Beatrice Letters (A Series of Unfortunate Events), is now available. Order your copy today. Of course, as a Member you'll save 10%."
 
Barnes and Noble shows why tracking is bad and the mild implications it can have.  Why would I want them to track my purchases?  Who else has access to my purchases?  That's plain evil!  I guess the lesson here is, don't buy where they "temp" you with like-purchases.  Now, had I bought a CAR, which is $14K - $65K, I might understand a couple of years later, they send you a card wondering if you might want to "upgrade" or "upscale" your vehicle.  When they track $5 purchases, that is truly scary.  What then does the grocery store do?  Do they send me carrot coupons because I buy a lot of veggies, or new BOLD laundry detergent advertisements?  Tp Barnes and Noble for a year of spamming and now purchase tracking, I give an F or single finger flying flag, if you get my metaphor.
