Now you're just showing your age, Dusty.

You know, I've never given Chu much thought, actually. He's just sort of omnipresent like the cable-car turnaround or the guys playing chess down the block.

What's different about him and any other anti-corporate douchebag?  Wasn't that long ago Greenpeace was ripping genetically modified crops out of the ground of a starving country while wearing biohazard suits...  They didn't give a flying fuck about feeding people with crops guaranteed to produce extremely high yields, all they gave a shit about was scaring the living hell out of the locals and damaging the profits of a company that truly was making the world a better place...  GMO foods have saved more human lives than any other discovery in the history of man and these clowns are using their warped elitist philosophies to try and bring us back into the stone age....  Seriously, GMO crops are far safer than any "natural" crops could possibly be, the biohazard suits were there purely for the drama...  I'm just saying the world is full of fucking retards and this dude is far from being top of the list....

It is the upbringing.  I still open doors for others, wait for women to be seated, and if on public transport offer my seat to others in need of one.  It can get one in trouble now days, but I am the product of a certain time and upbringing.  To be anything less would show disrespect for the ancestors.

As do I, in addition to insisting up walking women out to their cars or to a cab, which amuses the hell out most women who seem to regard it as quaint. It's the upbringing - in my case, Southern. And it doesn't get me anywhere, either, I might add.

Quite.  When we have parties at Chez Dusty's, even though we live in a beautiful, safe neighborhood, I always walk the ladies to the cars, and I am not looking for any on top of the bonnet action either.

Just the same, Southern Upbringing, and my background have similar elements.

Just being rational is all.....  I happen to enjoy food that is kept fresh by a refrigerator produced by a corporation, I enjoy being entertained by a Television and computer both produced by corporations, I like driving a reliable car that can get me from point A to point B safely without worry that was produced by a corporation, corporations produce nearly every necessity and comfort in my life and they do it so incredibly efficiently that the cost of their products and services only take a small portion of my income (which amazingly comes from a corporation)....  My grandfather was raised in a world free of major corporations and the poor guy fed himself and all his brothers and sisters with rabbits he killed with rocks (I'm not exaggerating)....  I'm amazed that so many people have convinced themselves that they're victims of corporations, but I'm sure they'd change their tune pretty quick once they experienced the third world conditions that exist without them.....   Let your anti-corporate "grassroots" uprising produce a technologically advanced product that makes my life better and more convenient and we'll talk then...

Perhaps some of you would like to be his friend.

He doesn’t really fit my criteria to invite him to be our MySpace friend.  I look for people whose avatars will be decorative or controversial, who have weird or campy names and whose pages have interesting content or who have a lot of friends.  On the other hand, I don't turn down people who send us friend requests even if they don't meet any of these criteria.
