    And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? - Genesis 4:9

    Shoplifting... No big deal as long as it is not your property!

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” - Thomas Jefferson (Declaration of Independence)

    The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.” - John Locke
    • First we drove the Creator from the marketplace of public discourse in the name of ‘separation of Church and State’.
    • Then we sanctioned the killing of the unborn in the name of personal privacy.
    • Then it is personal Liberty that must bow to regulation and laws in the name of security and “equal protection”.
    How then can one be surprised that “personal property” ceases to be a fundamental right? Did anyone think that the wholesale violation of our founding freedoms would somehow exempt some from theft of “property” after stripping everyone else of protections of “life” and “liberty”?

    You know what bothers me is that is surely a problem but you can't tell me with these men who have billions of dollars can't solve it... Its on their doorstep and there is no solution:eek:... What if their business was threatened?... They are just going to lay down and do nothing?... Their cutting off their nose despite their face... Close the stores?... The looters have already won... Business answers to us, we don't answer to big business... The looters are costing people their jobs, do they care?... Now who are they really hurting?... Looks to me like the ones who have the billions, don't care about their employees that go week to week... The billions are taking the easy way out by taking away the bottom line, it might dent them a little, but if you have billions why should you care?... Brother Glen:)

    After thinking about this further... I have a solution!... Put fully trained armed security at every store after hours... Not only do you give other people jobs, you protect those, that will not lose theirs, if the stores close.
