Curious

Business.  Move your right hand a little to the right and you get bisomess.  No deep philosophical discussions for me today.

Ad for Kashi

Just again saw ad where Kashi clumps are inserted in egg cartons to let you know you can eat it instead of an egg to get your protein.  Ok, BUT, I eat an egg because I like an egg, so why would I care if you get the same protein from Kashi, that I'm not so fond of?  Now if they create a Kashi or something else that gives the same nourishment as broccoli, I might consider that.  I eat broccoli only because it's good for me.  I don't hate it, but I don't like it much either.

Better Business Climate

While studies show that the best thing a state can do to improve its business climate is to provide a good quality of life (good schools, strong infrastructure, good roads, adequate police, fire and other protections, among others), Target and Best Buy seem to assume that the only thing that creates a good business climate is low taxes - even such low taxes as, when measured, appear unfair given their resources.  I am so sick of such simplistic   ideas, and I wonder that these companies have enjoyed as much success as they apparently have.  I therefore quite logically have stopped shopping at Target and Best Buy.
