“Sen. Margaret Carter, D-Portland, suggested (in The Oregonian, read it here) that many consumers get taken in by sham sales, and counted herself among them. She said she bought a bedroom set at a furniture store’s 'going out of business' sale, only to find the same set at a lower price at a different store. And the store where she bought the furniture didn't close.
'I was stupid; I was an idiot,' she said, before voting for the bill."
C’mon, Margaret, grow up, shop around. You weren't stupid, you were lazy. Don’t deprive the rest of us the opportunity to learn from our own laziness, don’t protect stores that charge higher prices, by passing a law (Senate Bill 684).
Neither Republicans nor Democrats favor liberty: Republicans want to control our bedrooms, Democrats want to control our wallets.
But Democrats just can't seem to resist the need to pass laws to set the world right for everyone. This bill will cost more to enforce than everyone lost buying a cheap bedroom set from the same store that has been going out of business for the last three years. What a waste of Legislative time and money.

don't stop the lady from calling herself stupid ... it adds to the charisma and raises the bar on the qualifications of our esteemed legislature.
okay, if there is no stupidity coupon that i can redeem when i'm lazy, just what rights should i have when i'm handicapped by my slothful and indolent ways? doesn't somebody owe me something? and do i have to get out of my tv chair to collect or can they just hit the "auto deposit" button?
geez peez.
