Add to that. When you bought your food, I bet you used your Bi-lo or MVP card. The Government can monitor everything you buy. If you don't belive this, buy too much sugar and corn then see how long before they raid your still out in yoiur garage.</p>

LL, if you bought a buggy load of beans, the government would probably follow you home to find out why you didn't buy any air freshner. emoLaugh </p>

Possum you are a moron. This so called mixed economy is just the thing that will drive this country into the ground. Just look at our sky rocketing debt and our trade deficit. Taxes and gov't programs are the things that hamstring us when it comes to competing on a global scale. Im not just talking about democrats either the Repubs have spent like druken sailors as well. Our govt has found a way to buy votes by redistributing wealth and obviously the American people are not smart enough to figure that out. I truly hope our govt will get back to our conservative roots or I fear we will go the way of the Romans.

A moron, you wanting to make this personal? I will say this, it is not the mixed economic system which we are, if we fail it is because the United States is trying to be the World police force. Through out world history ciovilizations have fallen because of many common features. Main one being trying to control and occupy too much territory. Sooner or later the run out of the resourses to maintain those empires. We are a Democratic country, as long as we are a Democracy and people fulfil their civic duty we will be OK. Right now I think too many people confuse our Democratic government with our economic system.

Doc 1, I refuse to use the "discount cards", I have for years! I've known all along it was supposed to be for tracking demographic purchasing patterns. But, my question to the retailers, is this. What good is the information? It's a muddled! When you are in line at the Bilo or whoever and you don't have your card, they will use one that's "handy" or anyone that has one in line! So the buying information they are trying to track is erroneous! I have told three different food stores here in the past, Why don't you just give the lowest, cheapest price you can and forget the club or discount cards? Then senile people like me won't have to try to keep up with all of them and you'll have more customers! They insist they are tracking patterns!
