Quote for today… “A wise man will see to it that his acts always seem voluntary and not done by compulsion, however much he may be compelled by necessity.” ─ Niccolo Machiavelli

• THE Grand Opening is today from 9:30 am until 8:30 pm!
• From the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal/New Era: Robert Reich, columnist, cites Eisenhower’s “military-industrial complex caveat” and asks great questions in this column “A military-industrial-Congress complex” “But why should you and I and other taxpayers pay Lockheed to lobby for the trillion-dollar F-35 and support politicians who will vote for it? Why should we pay for the political activities of Northrop-Grumman and Boeing to come up with even more aerospace weapons systems? Or for Raytheon and General Dynamics to procure more high-tech weapons? Or for Blackwater and Halliburton to procure more private military contract workers?” His comments are indicative of an out-of-control system devoid of ethics and public service.
