“…uncontested monopoly, and that goes against a healthy free-market economy. it's also downright unAmerican, dammit!”

WAS un-American (back in those heady days of yore…

before grocery stores were gas stations, restaurants, hair salons

& banks, one hand feeding th’ other, gouging-out maximum imaginable

bottom-line under one roof while employing 60% less clerks & cashiers.)

WAS un-American, yep, & for just about every conceivable good reason. 

Just as un-American as privatized utilities...& taxation without representation;

& I’d rather like to wish just as un-American as producing a war to, among other gnarly things, drive-up fuel costs & rape the public purse of all but their threads…while employing FUD as a means to chain us to the grindstone, …but I suppose that is kind of an American institution…sadly.

Yipeeeee…
