    Default I like Whole Foods a little more now

    In relevant part:

    INSKEEP: You expressed concern at one time about socialism. Do you think that this is socialism?


    MACKEY: Well, it depends on our definitions, here. Technically speaking, it's more like fascism. Socialism is where that government owns the means of production. In fascism, the government doesn't own the means of production, but they do control it. And that's what's happening with the health care program and with these reforms. So I'd say the system's becoming more fascist, or corporatism.


    Mackey has since said he regrets using the word fascism due to its politically charge. He did not say it was wrong, just that he regretted saying it out loud.
    I am increasingly persuaded that the earth belongs exclusively to the living and that one generation has no more right to bind another to it's laws and judgments than one independent nation has the right to command another.”

    Whole foods is like the government in that it cost too much.

    My church picks up close to expiring food products twice a week from Whole Foods that goes to the Arvada food bank-I can't afford to shop there but they do contribute to the community.

    Despite the fact that Whole Foods is seen as a "Liberal" business (mostly because of the leftard filth that shops there), it's actually owned and run by a libertarian.

    It's unlike the government in that you don't have to shop there if you don't like the prices (that's why I don't).

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    The meat associates for the Rocky Mountain region are good guys. Hunters and shooters.

    A couple of years ago I went pheasant hunting with the meat team from one of the CO Springs WF's. Good ole boys.
