Not only because of the human rights abuses in Tibet, but the abuses against the Chinese people in preparation for the games. I wish that our own president had set an example by boycotting the games himself, as well as some of the athletes. I'm not in their shoes though, so it's easy for me to say that.<BR/><BR/>Cynthia-if you haven't already seen it, watch the movie "Walmart, the high cost of low price". I think it will strengthen your resolve against Walmart.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-9827520836651114222008-09-15T08:45:00.000-04:002008-09-15T08:45:00.000-04:00Boycotts are good!

I have a couple myself - Walmart (drives my inlaws, mom, and brother crazy), American Furniture Warehouse (oh I know how to hold a grudge - going on 12 years now), growth hormones in milk and poultry, and on and on... I'm trying to think whether or not there are any actors whose movies I won't go see. I'll have to think about that one.<BR/><BR/>I love South Park, actually any comedy that takes no prisoners. Family Guy is good - I am still surprised that this one is on network TV. I sort of remember getting ticked off at Tom Cruise for suggesting that postpartum depression was a crock. I shook my head and was wondering what Tom's credentials are that gave him that authority on the topic. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, your new work looks great! I especially like the "girly look" of most recent post. Your color combos are fantastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-63510167045434025332008-09-15T07:29:00.000-04:002008-09-15T07:29:00.000-04:00hey deb, I likewise enjoy a personal boycot, I boy...hey deb, I likewise enjoy a personal boycot, I boycotted any self viewing of the olympic games on tv in a personal protest for the disenfranchised and plain aggression of the chinese against the tibetan people.. all done now! yey for the boycot..ang designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818952156682990100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-24218941805326343322008-09-11T13:12:00.000-04:002008-09-11T13:12:00.000-04:00He has developed a bit of a reputation as a nut jo...He has developed a bit of a reputation as a nut job hasn't he Ben? He's either brought it on himself by being a little too "Michael Jacksonny" or maybe we as the public are just a little too critical. Probably both.<BR/><BR/>Sadly I gave up believing I could change the world with my boycotts Judy, but when I do actually practice what I preach, I know I feel a little more peaceful inside anyways-I guess that counts for something.<BR/><BR/>Patricia, your son and mine would probably get along well. He's brilliant, creative and has no problem expressing very disdainful and passionate opinions on most matters. Sounds like someone else I know . . .<BR/><BR/>The black glaze on the outside of the pot is a matte glaze, so that's not the issue. The problem I'm having is getting it to photograph well, without looking really washed out as it does in this photo (due to polarized reflection I believe). Although the black is sort of on the charcoaly side, it is photographing much lighter. I just want to get an accurate reproduction - I have a couple of things to try.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for everyone's comments!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-80564351894137058952008-09-11T11:16:00.000-04:002008-09-11T11:16:00.000-04:00Hi Deborah, I love your tumblers.

For the black one is the black supposed to be shiney like the liner, but it came out more matt in the photo?Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-61624995071745463472008-09-11T10:09:00.000-04:002008-09-11T10:09:00.000-04:00Interesting discourse on Tom Cruise and South Park...Interesting discourse on Tom Cruise and South Park. My son is an animator/cartoonist/storyteller and very irreverent about damn near everything. Sometimes it appalls me and cracks me up at the same time. He's an adult now so I just smile and think "Wow, he sure does think for himself." <BR/><BR/>I like the black tumblers... The way the black breaks at the top. The contrast between what looks like matt on the outside and gloss on the inside... You don't like them?Patricia Griffin Ceramicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205981725964222971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-8521784598802915662008-09-11T08:35:00.000-04:002008-09-11T08:35:00.000-04:00You make me laugh -- I'm always boycotting somethi...You make me laugh -- I'm always boycotting something too.
