Here is a nice piece from the Oatmeal about Columbus.
Enjoy!

Maybe start calling it Cristobal Colon Day (His real name) and perhaps people will give it a bit more thinking time.

I think it is petty of us to look back at the brutal way that people lived and...

More gems from the DHMO.org website. Yup, that H2O is bad, bad stuff.

The dangers, uses and potential threats posed by this chemical, Dihydrogen Monoxide, are widespread, and some feel,...

All of the information about dihydrogen monoxide at https://www.dhmo.org/ is absolutely true. The DHMO mime is used to encourage critical thinking and scientific literacy and is especially valuable...

Thanks! One less thing to be vigilant about!

Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions! Ban DHMO now!

Hmmm, after doing further research I'm wondering if this is a real threat or a hoax .... looks like a hoax to me ... did you do any research Dixon to verify this?

I just looked at the website, and recommend that people read the FAQs, if nothing else. You will learn a lot, and maybe save a child's life who plays with "Beyblades" toys.

I would post more...

Have there been any deaths from this reported in our area? Or maybe if someone did die, there was no linking to DHMO?

I understand and agree with everything you just posted. But your reply does not address my central point, which is:
If Sanders goes up against the Republican nominee in November 2016, will he win or...

The Valley Fire. The people I met yesterday at the evacuation center in Calistoga. A moving experience. Lets not forget that many of the people affected, who lost their homes, pets, perhaps their...

Whole Foods Accused of Suckering Customers With Sugar Synonyms

I again state what to me is obvious. Regardless whether the pricing is a mistake or not, it still amazes me that so many people support an overpriced store whose CEO is against things like affordable...

This is from Wkipedia

Yes I do think there are consipiracies, which is what it would have to be if it's a regional or company wide policy to overcharge customers.

Maybe Whole Foods management in NYC is corrupt and did...

WOW: nothing is said in this video about the PREVIOUS $800K fine for price gouging in California.
How dumb can these guys be? They obviously don't understand the "we f---ed up" playbook. Rule #!...

a degree of superficial spirituality, and clinging to appearances of being spiritual, does seem to my judgemental ,not very enlightened self, to drive some degree of commerce as well as ways of...

I had that same experience at CM, and wondered about it myself. I found the hot/salad bar completely unappealing, and the prices of many items much higher than I'm used to paying.

Then later I...

Yes on all counts. Spiritual people and communities come in all colors and shades of enlightened or not, good bad or indifferent or not, just like everyone else. I'm not even sure what it means but...

It seems that being "enlightened" means different things in our community, and beyond. I've worked for many wealthy people who shopped at Whole Foods, and none of them were enlightened or conscious...

Whole Foods responds:

believe it or not, I'm sympathetic to those of you who feel disempowered by the government taking coercive action. I don't think that means they were wrong to do so. And I think your vision of home...

with all due respect...if we could try to not do the "i only go to WF for this" sort of dialog, and we actually pay the little extra some other place or do a little more research and find it where we...

i believe, you have a point, "addiction". We have so many addictions in this culture, we hardly notice them. And, so many people in the "cool" west county just think "laissez-faire" when it comes...

Part of the ranting is to educate people who may be very well aware of the high prices, but would never suspect price gouging at the check stand, mis-represented weights, 365 brand frozen food from...

With all the complaining and "outing" of WF's bad practices over the years, I was amazed at the lack of support when Community Market opened. When I heard this new "righteous", purchasers of local...

Whether the reason is "MORALS" which may mean dis-engaging over WF sale of rabbit meat, or "MONEY" as in having less of it because of WF, I do hope that our community has the intelligence and...

Don't leave Fircrest Market off the list; I love that store. For a smaller market, they have a huge selection of stuff and a real butcher shop. I don't think they do this anymore (paper bags), but...

oh what to do about WF? It is very simple, but then again, huh?...how do you just stop shopping at places where the corporate owner doesn't give a rats ass whether the customers are...

Good for you, Jessica. The bottom line is that consumers need to be self-informed. The info about Whole Foods' politics, lack of local foods, and price gouging has been out there for years.
...

Since I am on a fixed income, I actually have a list I keep of where to buy the things I usually buy and the price. The differences in prices for some of these are significant. WF has two things I...

Perhaps some are and some are not concerned about price. They should be concerned that the 300% or 400% markup on some phoney drink is going into the pocket of a very wealthy and very right wing...

I don't think people that shop at WF or Community Market are concerned with prices. That seems like an oxymoron. Awhile back I went there with an addicted friend, and was shocked to see Mama Chia...

I continue to be surprised at the number of people in our hip town that shop at Whole Paycheck.
Community Market is a better place, not being owned by a wealthy right winger, but they should trying...

I prefer to shop at Andy's on northside and Fircrest on southside. Both stores have reasonably priced organic and non-organic fruit and vegetables. Fircrest has an excellent meat department, though...

I see Whole Foods as a status symbol for the wealthy, just like any other high end store that sells items at many times the price of other stores. I realize that there are probably a lot of people...

Through the years Whole Foods Sebastopol has overcharged me at least 6 times. Their excuses are feeble, like, discounted supplements were charged at full price, and the cashier acted like something...
