SUP! I like so many others did not know what MICKY D's was up to in your fair country..(and probably others). I have made the decision never to enter a McDonalds again. It's pretty simple once you understand how they manipulate you...and believe me after 35 years of the 'fucking' red clown seducing me into a burger and shake, I thought I better take a stand. What happened in London, and now is happening in Scotland is just another example of corporate meglomania!

Marx said that Religion was the great opiate of the world
...well times be a changin!

As a teacher in the Middle Schools. I've decided to take Micky and use him as an example on how corporations manipulate and generally screw with us. I would like to lead this lesson into the practices of other corps like NIKE and Disney.
I urge every teacher to stop and get a grip, come to terms and take a stand. We as adult still have this provincial notion that what is of childhood can't be bothered with. Well, wake up! Your children, as you were ...as I was have been sold a corrupt bill of goods!.

It's time to kill the messenger ( the funny clown maybe:)) and go to the source - the corporation.

The two people who have stood up against M for the last 3 years are an example of what can be done.

So much for my ramblings:)
