Most concise and least emotionally charged..it is the first article I can really stand behind without feeling like there was too much left out or not enough said to be understood...

Just found this myself since I have friended the 3/50 Project in support of small business. Great article, I hope many people get to read it! Glad you posted it here.
 
Sent a letter to the editor of our local paper and got this reply:

"Thanks for submitting a letter to the editor. However, we didn't select your
letter for publication. We cannot publish letters that present one side of a
business dispute."

I guess the fact that they rip customers off has nothing to do with it?

This is exactly why California can't get anything going. The powers that be are ninkompoops!

What, they can't solicit the opposing side for information?

They probably run ads for FTD too.....

And here's yet another story...

Seems like the number of news items this year are growing, and the content is more focused than ever on the same subject... I anticipate the number of stories will increase as the weekend approaches... I love it when a plan comes together...

Please post to Fb and ask your friends to share it with theirs and them with theirs and on and on and on...

I added it to my Facebook too. I agree it is one of the most concise descriptions I have seen to describe OG's.

I am late to this thread but it applies to Mother's Day and year-round. The newspaper's use of the term "business dispute" is interesting. To begin with, nothing in the article/blog is un-true and, therefore, strictly, not in dispute.

If, however, there is an article/blog that is being circulated that is in dispute insomuch there is a question over the truthfulness of it, at least in the mind of the editor and, hence their term "business dispute", and relevant - which it was with the approach of Valentine's Day- then, surely, a newspaper worth anything should be attempting to pull back the curtain in an effort to reveal all, for the benefit of their readers.

The trouble with newspapers, local, national and international, is that they are often invariably beholden to their advertisers and one proverbial hand washes the other.
