Is dry asparagus an indicator of racism? <\/p>\n

I had to read this twice before I was sure it was not a joke. Apparently so many people have lost their minds that the rest of us simply aren\u2019t startled. We have thrown out freedom and common sense. A supermarket does not invest money in a store in order to insult its customers; it will not have a policy of doing that \u2013 or if it does, the sales will fall. In any event we don\u2019t need city commissions to decide matters like this. Of course the city commissioners have their own agendas. They may not be agendas that serve the public interest.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019ll have to inspect all the asparagus in my local stores to see which one discriminate against the population of Studio City.<\/p>\n
