"You Were Always A Good Man of Business, Dobbs."

"Business! Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"

Marley's Ghost, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

    Sheesh, BG.

    Who'd a thunk Dobbs would be a proper Christmas spirit icon?

    But you.

    Thanks for the seasonal reminder as we head into another joyless Christmas season for the shopkeepers (and the shoppers).

    Ya gotta love that capitalistic fervor.

    Well done!

    Some of the current conservatives are even nastier than Scrooge, since he wasn't actively campaigning to close all the poorhouses.

I really look forward to hearing what you have to say. I do moderate comments, but non-spam comments will take less than 24 hours to appear... Thanks!
