At least with a lot of things.

I think we need to re-examine it too, but I don't think in the way that you do. I don't think we need to re-examine the idea that corporations are bad, because I don't think all that many people have that Idea. I think we need to give people that idea though. Corporations are anonymous, unaccountable entities that have all the rights of a person and nearly none of the responsibilities. corporate charters usually behold the officers of a corp. to put shareholder wealth and profitibility above *all other concerns*. that's a *legally binding* contract. that means if you can sell your shirts for more money if you make them in a sweatshop in asia, you can be legally bound to pursue that avenue if shareholders pursue it. that means it is in a corps best interest to find clever ways around laws and regulations that might cost them more money to follow, and to influence lawmakers (again legally or otherwise) to manipulate regulations in their favor.

Consequently we have a large number of corporations that are trying to make us give them more money regardless of the harm it may do to ourselves. there are a few out there trying to make an honest buck, but almost any entity of size is probably going to have some skeletons in its closet. it's shortsighted to think that only the CEOs and such getting caught are the one's doing any wrong.

I think that it shows a child and a jack ass yelling at each other.

no it doesn't, it shows the plight of the disenfranchised masses.

For the record, I still think the original bumper sticker is funny =D

I think all of us, deep down in the happiest places of our souls, want to be the red bucket.

That's a line of crap put out by the bucket activists that want us to beleive that it's natural to want to be the red bucket. Well it ain't natural. Or moral. Now where did I put my "God Hates Buckets" sign? It's people like you that want to start adopting other buckets. Makes me sick.

You're a bucketphobe. You probably even have a deeply supressed desire to be a bucket. Well we're here, we hold water, and sometimes we're red. Get used to it.

it's clearly written somewhere that band camp doesn't count! Besides, you're a f-ing pervert and if I make my signs out of bright enough neon and yell loud enough that means my hate and anger are justified.

Stop exploiting bucket culture and co-opting it for your petty arguments. Buckets have been around long before your time, so don't act like you own them.

*sings joyously, clearly, with purpose; holds a candle*

"There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

Well fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Well fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it."

Whatever Henry uses to fix the bucket, we can use to fix the differences between us. IIRC, it was a stick.
