If they paid me, I would lend my voice/face to whatever. Taking their money would not leave me suicidal.<br /><br />Now, I would not vote for Bush. I would not buy cigarettes. I would not fire a gun. I do my best to never shop at Wal-Mart. <br /><br />But I can't blame anybody for taking a day's work that will pay them five times what they make at their shitty dayjob.<br /><br />You wouldn't do that, that's one thing. But you seem a bit overly contemptuous of friends that have.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472069339752433416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10679996.post-26430009069175465212007-02-01T10:01:00.000-06:002007-02-01T10:01:00.000-06:00Yes, I am saying that.

Would you do a campaign commercial for George W. Bush? A tobacco ad? NRA promo? Are any of those worse than promoting the unfair labor practices of Wal-Mart?<br /><br />What about beef industry? Willing to be in the doghouse with your wife for a really long time for that one?<br /><br />What about NAMBLA? Is there an amount of money that would help you sleep at night for doing a promo for them?Denihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811436888451510514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10679996.post-64004761393718039472007-01-30T21:14:00.000-06:002007-01-30T21:14:00.000-06:00Are you honestly telling me that, if someone wante...Are you honestly telling me that, if someone wanted to give you one day's work that would allow you to pay off every bill you've got, that you wouldn't do it, even if it was McDonald's or another company you didn't like?Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472069339752433416noreply@blogger.com
