No real surprises to me in there, other than the tactic of setting up a second amazon account, paid for by prepaid cards, and delivered to a locker. I hadn't thought of that trick, so I learned something.

That was disturbing.
Hand-wringing defeatism ("It's too hard", "there's nothing we can do", "I felt like a criminal") reinforcing the Big Corporate vs. Big Government duality that we're being sold.
Grmph.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
