The only problem with California sinking into the ocean is that it may be 20 years too late to save the rest of us. The Cancer has already begun to spread. Just ask Texas.

Yeah, but Texas could solve that very easily with a good ol' fashion lynching... of Californians.

I honestly don't see it lasting. If you ever wondered why grocery store items are laid out the way they are, you'd know its to maximize your "impulse " buying. They have whole marketing teems devoted to this. Its also why your chain grocery stores will rearrange the shelves so often.

So even if you go into the store, knowing what you want, you'll have to look for it, thus passup and down isles you normally would not. I KNOW stores are like this, and still succumb to impulse buys.

I never thought of that. Bastards!

Yup, that's why milk is always on one far end of the store while bread is on the complete opposite end of the store. They want you to have to walk through the whole store even if you only need a couple of things.
