#1. Why in the hell do we have a SEASON to vote? Why can't we progress to a more fair way to vote? That would mean voting in person at your specified polling place, on the ONE day set aside for voting. The only mail in ballots allowed should be for someone who CANNOT be at their polling place in person. I.E. military folks, and maybe a few others.
And voting should NOT be done by computer. Jesus H. Christ! How more vulnerable to cheating can you get than with a computer?
#2. WHY IN THE HELL do I have to give a store clerk my birthday to buy a stupid little bottle of mucinex???
I bought one last week and no one said a word. Today I go to buy the EXACT SAME ONE and they said I had to give them my birthday or they couldn't sell it to me.
WTF??
I told them to keep all of the products. Fuck them. I found a phone number for dollar general and called them. Even though the number was listed as corporate it was not. And they had no number I could contact the head honcho.
Anybody live in Tennessee who can get me a phone number to the chairman or ceo of dollar general?
Four or so years ago I went to big 5 sporting goods to buy a package of bb's. And the clerk there asked for my birthday. I refused to give it and she just bypassed it.
What is with this trend of asking for birthdays???
Among hubby's stuff was a small cellophane bag of BB's. Threw it into a drawer and wondered if anyone was still using them.
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like you have had too much thinking. I too walk away when they need ID or a birfday.
ReplyDeleteI have a bottle of Mucinex. I doesn't work for me. You can have it. I won't ask for your ID either.
ReplyDeleteCommunist governments have a need to control every aspect of your life. Criminals are the reason for age-verification of most medical products, weapons related items as well. I couldn't believe it when I had to show ID to buy a Bic Lighter. The long-handled grill-lighter however, does not require ID.
ReplyDeleteAbolish the Federal Government. It's not just worthless, it's actually harming us more than it's helping.
Ayn Rand has a great quote (that escapes me) about laws being passed because of the actions of criminals. Law abiding criminals are the prisoners, living in a world of cages made by criminals. Your behavior doesn't matter how you are treated. You are treated how you are b/c of the actions of other people.
The question isn't whether they ask for your birthday, but whether they demand you prove it. If not, the solution is trivial.
