Sales must be slow at the Music Shoppe.


And you would be wrong, fret breath.

Actually, sales have become brisk lately. Most be the stimulus package at
work, huh?
More likely, it's receipt of income tax returns.

Sold 12 guitars and two amps on Saturday.
Two guitars and some other accessories so far today (which is always the
slowest day).

These are not budget, beginner guitars either. Average is in the $2k to $3k
turf.
Not bad for a little shop started as a hobby.

So, I am not complaining. Carry on with your assumptions,
characterizations and comments
about people that you have never met or know.

Congrats on the Music Shoppe, glad it's going well.

Point is, Richard, that you paint yourself (and have many believers on
the right as a result of doing so) as a non-partisan but your stripes
shine through in the most obvious way.

If a "conservative" would make a comment about a Hispanic, it'd be
along the lines of "illegal, shiftless, lazy, freeloader, scab, etc."

And you count Plume's comment about the Hispanic population being
family-oriented and warm as being equivalently racist.

Is something about the second statement derogatory or do you find
warm, family-oriented people to be offensive?

Racism is defined as:

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and
capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority
of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

I expect crickets or a punt, so don't feel the need to respond. You
won't disappoint me. Cuz, like you, I really don't give a **** what
you think.
