Says it all, thanks.
“We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”
“Says it all, thanks.”
No, you’re pledging SOMEONE ELSE’S fortune. The guy paid 7000 bucks for a booth and is now screwed no matter what he does. Instead of feeling bad for the small vendors, why don’t you buy something from one? Buy the guy’s cup holder. Send him a few bucks. That would sure beat quoting the Declaration and shrugging your shoulders.
