Since taking such a hit from the free falling Dow Jones, I thought I had finally found a safe investment only to learn that real patriots must pay their taxes and sacrifice for the planet. In 2008 Quilted Northern Ultra and Charmin Ultra increased sales by a whopping 40% in some markets, according to Information Resources Inc.. Finally I had discovered a product doing well and bringing joy and comfort to millions. What more could a Christian investor hope for? What a blessing I could help bring to the world by investing in such an enterprise.

However, Leslie Kaufman of the New York Times has reminded me that "fluffiness comes at a price....millions of trees" must die for our comfort and my profit. Wow, I don't want to be a murderer. Its the comfort of humans vs the life of the trees. Being Pro-Life as I am, the choice seems clear. I must sacrifice money and comfort for the well-being of the planet. We should learn from the Europeans. Kaufman informs us that "In many European nations a rought sheet of paper is deemed sufficient".

We have so much to learn from the Europeans. They teach us that "big government knows best", universal health care can reduce life expectancy and save us money, higher taxes is always good, and that sacrificing comfort and money is the goal of all patriots of the planet. Fortunately we are blessed with some well trained teachers in Washington and New York who can provide us a crash course on the Eureka Europe Experience.

Well said!! I get the feeling you are a bit bitter over the falling of the Dow and the comments from the Democratic brain trust in Washington. You need to pay closer attention to our great leader. He says we are going to come out of this and be better off than ever before. Are you an unbeliever and anti-patriot? Write on, brother. Love ya,
