This is a new occurrence for me. An example would be necessary. Today I went to what I thought was La Salsa, a very good restaurant. Only to arrive at the location to find a very similar restaurant. As it turns out it was the same restaurant but with a different name and the food also had different names. I was greatly alarmed when I found out that during the restaurants transition phase, they eliminated the El Champion. This was an enormous burrito that was very reasonably priced. I was enraged because my large body has an equally large hunger. My mind went wild when I attributed this occurrence to capitalist greed. The idea that they probably discontinued this enormous feast due "insufficient" profit margins was enraging. Instead they decreased the portions of every thing on the menu and increased the prices. That made me realize that capitalism has a tendency to be totally self serving and who cares what my needs are. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
