Is anyone getting disgusted with the ever shrinking size of consumer product packaging these days?

Yeah, we know it's been going on for years, but do the manufactures think we're really so stupid that we don't notice?

They shrink it ALL! Why not just raise the price? When will a regular size roll of bathroom tissue be the size of a single wipe? Paper towel, one single sheet?

It really chaps my hide when the margarine makers decided to add AIR! The size of the tub didn't shrink but the weight did. Parkay recently changed their package with the words "Great NEW taste!" and "Fresh & Creamy Taste". What a load of CRAP, the package weight shrunk from 16 oz to 13 oz because they whipped it. Now it burns in the skillet a whole lot faster than before. But all the margarine brands are doing it. They finally made "bun length" hot dogs a lot of years ago, have you notice those are way longer than the buns now?

My ice cream recently shrunk from a 1/2 gallon to 3/8th of a gallon. Thats 25% less! A can of TUNA from 6 oz to 5 oz (20%). Once upon a time I'd swear a can of Tuna was 6.5 oz. So all of you out there who think you're getting cheated when your recipe calls for "1 can" of tuna YOUR ARE (getting cheated). I'm so pissed about the tuna cans I'm ready to boycott Tuna!

Just raise the damn price already rather than making me adjust all my recipes.

Anyone with me?

Cambridge police incident

July 25th 2009 03:57

Today I am satisfied with President Obamas handling of the situation after his unfortunate comments about the Cambridge police incident involving black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. After stirring up a hornets nest, with derogatory comments about the behavior of Cambrdige police officer Sgt. James Crowley, I believe he (Pres Obama) has said enough. He has criticized both sides now when he commented publicly, that he thought Gates, too, had overreacted to the police who questioned him. (NANCY BENAC, Associated Press Writer)

It’s too bad there IS still racial profiling. We know it's true. It’s too bad those with a closed mind react so aggressively and poorly at the slightest provocation. Whites who bristle instantly at the black person who questions the motive of a policemans action. Those who decide “guilty!” before hearing the first fact. Blacks who instantly and without thought call any situation the “black mans nightmare” when their behavior is in question. This is behavior that immediately brands them as close minded in my book. I’m sad for them.

As for Mr. Gates behavior, in my mind had I been caught in such compromising circumstances I’d like to hope I would have considered the situation with some common sense? An instant reaction of belligerence and yelling insulting and unprofessional comments to a police officer seems to be the worst way of stating your case. How could Henry Gates Jr. think otherwise? It baffles me! I can only hope I could present a cool head and demeanor at such a critical time. I’d like to get myself out of the immediate situation with grace and question motives later. What if a stranger HAD been jimmying my door with force? I would hope a passerby would react and report the incident. I would hope the police would make sure beyond any reasonable doubt the person belonged there. Doesn’t such a rash and harsh reaction only raise more suspicion? Had I been the one to approach the individuals in question I can only answer that question with a YES.

It’s too bad there are still plenty of people in this country who have a closed mind. I’m talking about ALL races; Caucasians, Blacks, Latinos, Orientals, Indians, or any who consider themselves a “race”.

They are people who have already made up their mind that ALL others of another race are always in the wrong OR are always out to get them. Nothing will change their mind; they will NOT listen to other opinions or consider that the tide COULD BE turning. That they might be wrong. Too bad, they hurt the rest of us.

I believe the tide IS TURNING. It has been. Slowly. I don't think I'm alone in my belief.

Today I’m satisfied; I hope Mr. Obama continues to keep his cool.

CIA interrogating terror suspects

April 21st 2009 03:34

According to the declassified memos, waterboarding was used on alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Muhammed 183 times in March 2003. Suspected al-Qaida logistics chief Abu Zubaydah was subjected to the treatment 83 times in August 2002.

Someone should tell Obama this treatment wasn't nearly harsh enough. What does he (Obama) think we should do? apologize? Does he really think we should prosecute our own CIA agents for doing their job?

How about letting the families of those who died on 9/11, or the thousand of others in anyway traumatized by the bombing of the world trade center decide what treatment is cruel and unusual.

How does anyone think we would have felt about this 8 years ago today? 7 short months after the attack.
