    What would be the appropriate organic fruit to throw at the dipship dancing Gen Socialist protesters?

    In August, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey argued in the pages of the Wall Street Journal that the solution to America's health care crisis was to be found in "less government control and more individual empowerment." His own company's unique health care plan, Mackey wrote, covers 90 percent of employees, costs less than health insurance plans, aned provides a "very high degree of worker satisfaction." But for the sin of not supporting a government take over of health care, labor unions and left-wing activists called for a boycott of Whole Foods, claiming that Mackey's solutions were unworkable and his employees were unhappy.

    Reason.tv talked to protesters, Mackey, and employees about "the Whole Foods alternative to ObamaCare."

    "Stay open, Whole Foods thread, stay open?"

    You've even talked about this before, Rodan, over a week ago:

    As with Limbaugh's failed bid, it's the CEO's fault for not recognizing the mores held by most of his clientele.

    There are thirty more NFL helmets to put you in, Rodan, and you've yet to topple even one Debate & Discussion skyscraper. I still believe in you, though; make your mark.
