Unfortunately, it's not as simple as reading the label and buying the ones marked "Made in the USA" - Sometimes the ingredients are imported. Reference the melamine problem someone mentioned earlier;

I give Scruffy Elvis a Snausage now and then, but mostly he subsists on dry dog food and whatever someone drops on the floor.

Look at Leavenworth. That was a dying town until they decided to go with the Bavarian theme. We were there on Friday and it was very busy. I would visit this Simpson-themed area if they put in a leftorium.

When I was a kid, my dad got flustered from us kids eating and talking at the same time and blurted out "Don't talk with your mouth open!" - I guess it's kind of like that?

No, she says "Since I'm a cheerleader, I have to stay clean and be a good role model for everyone else"

I think she means it! For now at least. I don't think I was interested in drinking at 15 either, and they would have laughed my dorky butt out of the store anyway, with or without ID.

I would not be surprised if the "there ought to be a law" people are nearly 100% people who never go swimming in a lake or river, so they have no way of weighing the pros and cons of it.

I was going to use the mini-skirt analogy in reply to H. Beale's comment to you saying if you openly carry large amounts of cash at night in Belltown, you deserve to get beaten and rob. But I was rendered temporarily speechless by that one.

There is a difference between saying "Well, you left your garage door open all night, you shouldn't be surprised that some of your tools have walked away." and saying "Well, you left your garage door open all night, no wonder some guy was walking around in your house wearing his shirt but your socks, nothing else, and complaining to the police that having your fridge open made his junk shrivel"

Seriously, my wife says she would have kicked him so hard he would still be crying. She would also have hit him over the head with the wine bottle she keeps by the bed for self defense.

So here we have two groups, folks that would have cheered if the intruder had been shot dead by the home owner, and surprisingly, it sounds like you would have him get what, a stern warning and a hot bowl of soup?

Can we meet somewhere in the middle? Personally, I would have more sympathy for this apparently homeless man if he had been wearing pants, or at least some underwear.

I guess you must not have had any experience with criminals entering your home, it makes everyone feel violated, and the fact that he wasn't wearing any pants does not help. Burglary would be a perfectly reasonable thing to charge him with, even if they were his Sunday Socks (holey)

He is lucky the homeowner showed some restraint, it would have been real easy to feel threatened and shoot the pantsless intruder. The homeowner has a family, who knows which room this dude was headed for next if he hadn't been intercepted.
