More musing: 
I AGREE. And I say again: Paying latino and islander 
mothers with children $7.50 per hour is somehow Immoral, 
So I dont like WFM - give me more reasons to shop Harvest!
Weve been members off and on over the years, the workers 
turn over pretty quick, but some are still there from 1990's 
when I lived at # 60 Bishop Allen.


Do you know, its so funny when people say 
"We Must Change With The Times" 
Hm. In my income reality I do not care where corporate kats 
are going, with big chains of "semi-organic markets" as 
I own no Stocks or Bonds. I shall grow able to invest in 
America as it invests in my neighborhood, my roads, my 
schools, my basic rights of a citizen. 
Rather, I shop and stay loyal to QUALITY and that means 
Quality of Life for all our neighbors on the planet, to 
the best of our ability as faulty humans living here in Ma.


ideas for the Coop food store folk:
-----------------------------
...hmmm..well, why not Call it something other than a Coop 
if its not able at this time to be a "true" Cooperative.. 

if it is nessisary that it be dominated by market concerns 
and in bare bones survival mode, save it by all means - By 
Any Means Nessisary.
 
Has any store ever tried calling in the membership and 
laying it all out on the table, asking for leadership 
assistance? Humbling. Perhaps Nessesary..?

The members are smart & folk not "in leadership" have wisdom
we dont even know about (Other wisdoms are available to 
humanity than the wisdom taught in institutions) 

Poor folk know how to survive on nothing. 
They know how to live when the daily struggle gets rougth.
They are not at all like the steriotypes that you may see.
