I decided after long talks with friends over the weekend, that now is not a good time to move. Too many uncertainties in my life right now including my job, and what's going to happen once we go to war with Iraq. There will no doubt be retalliation from the Iraqis, it's just a matter of when and how many times. Who knows what more 9/11 disasters will do to the US economy, not to mention everyone's peace of mind. A friend is afraid of a nuclear strike, although I doubt that will happen. I'm more afraid of a biological or chemical weapon, or a dirty bomb.

Although SF is a high profile target, all the conspiracy/psychic futurists say it's either going to Colorado, Chicago or DC, or all three. Chicago because of The Chicago Board of Trade, which deals in agricultural and financial futures and options. Colorado because that's where the US government has their underground city in case of a nuclear attack. And DC, well because it's the capital.

Then there's the crisis happening in Korea. That's a major hot spot, and people are saying that right when we're in the middle of the iraqi war, North Korea will explode a nuclear device near the DMZ. China will probably take Taiwan and we'll let it go, and if the US has to fight a ground war against North Korea, it will be messy since our resources will already be stretched too thin from the war in Iraq. I'm not looking forward to watching the body bags come home on TV every night.

It's going to be an interesting 2003, whatever happens, and it seems prudent to stay put for now until the dust settles.

Rainbow Grocery Statement on Israeli Products

Statement from the Board of Directors Regarding Israeli Products. Spin Rainbow Grocery, spin!

So Rainbow grocery ended its partial boycott of Israeli made goods, Rainbow Grocery backs off on boycott of Israeli goods Representatives of two Jewish groups declare victory.

I don't know if I can ever shop there again though. They had the boycott in place for a year, and they only backed down because they got found out. For all their talk of being a progressive grocery, they acted just like any big corporatation that they profess to hate; they engaged in deceptive practices. It's so typical of the progressives. They despise the conservative right and big corporations, but when you examine them and their practices they're exactly the same. At least the big corporations and the conservative right lay their agenda and motives on the table for everyone to see and judge. They're honest about who they are, and what they're willing to do. Not the progressive left. They lie and hide in the name of self righteousness and because they really do think they know better than anyone else. Is it any wonder people are so disgusted with the left and progressive these days?

Who has time for dishonesty and hidden agendas? Please! If I'm dealing with a jerk, I like to know up front. Be proud of your views! Don't skulk around and hide, and only change your views when you're caught. Shame on you, Rainbow Grocery!
