I have a small hand flag I bought on from a local grocer on 9/11. It had a broken stick, but I paid full price. I doubt the store would have particularly expected to sell it, and it may well have been thrown out the next time they checked inventory, but I had no qualm about paying full price and removing the broken stick. A pretty trivial sacrifice to have to make, really.
Wasn’t the Democratic Party supposed to be be going “Green”? Sounds as if they were not doing what they preach. I wonder what kind of effect all of that stuff would have done to the environment? -smile-
