Please note that this drill press is the product of an Eeeeeeeevvvvilllll
Corporation that (gasp!) uses offshore manufacturing wherein there is no
Union labor, defined benefits pensions, universal healthcare, or long
paid vacations. You are quite happy to be part of the industrial
"complex", you just want to pick and choose which parts of it you supports.
For shame.

Just because I loathe WonTon soup, doesn't mean I have to stop buying
Chinese tools.
I am also not going stop breathing air because Ted Kennedy farts in it.

And you, Tim, better stop eating. There is no way you can be sure that
the food you buy wasn't handled/processed/harvested by an illegal
immigrant who slaves under the yoke of an opportunist business owner.

But see, I don't hate the military/industrial/commercial "complex".
I don't think that profit is eeeeevvvviiiiill and I don't think
the business world is "waging war on [us] ... for business reasons"
as you insist. I also don't think that immigrants - legal or otherwise -
are "slaves under the yoke of an opportunist business owner". They
are people trying to make a better life for themselves. Note that
"better" connotes a relative, not absolute, improvement. Your tone
is silly, your examples are silly, and your ideas are silliest of all.
