Standard Oil: Fresh and Easy drawbacks

Friday, November 9, 2007

OK...what I don't like about this store:

They have close-in parking for "hybrid" vehicles (but also for those of us with kids)
They talk a lot of BS about "sustainability", being green, blah, blah, blah (I guess you have to do this, but I think they might actually be a little bit serious--which is annoying)

Quotes

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." --Samuel Adams

"The Republican Party is the ship, the rest is the sea."--Frederick Douglass

"There are only two sides to the question. Every man must be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war, only patriots--or traitors."-Stephen Douglas (1861 after the fall of Fort Sumter)

"I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible."-Milton Friedman

"But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble, they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. O LORD of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance upon them, for to thee have I committed my cause."-Book Of Jeremiah
