J.'s every move, as though he were still carrying a football and trying to escape justice in the same move. Once he stopped carrying a football, he disappeared from my radar. The media are excited because they smell another long, ratings bonanza as they sniff his shorts in pursuit. How boring. Pathetic, you bet.

Coffee prices are so low these days that not even plantation owners can make much money, and a great deal of coffee is grown on small farms. Typically Fair Trade coffee is obtained from cooperatives of these small farmers. In any case, it's not a matter of wealthy plantation owners paying their workers a pittance. Growing coffee just isn't very profitable for anybody, and the small farmers are seriously impoverished. Most farmers are able to sell only a small percentage of their coffee at Fair Trade prices anyway, because of the lack of demand. The percentage of Fair Trade coffee Starbucks sells is also quite low, really only a token. Bhairitu is likely not drinking Fair Trade coffee at Starbucks because they don't usually brew it; they only sell it by the pound. They don't promote it and usually put it on the lower shelves where it's not as easily seen, so they don't even sell all that much of the beans. See GlobalExchange.org for more details on its campaign to get Starbucks to use more Fair Trade coffee: http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/fairtrade/coffee/starbucks .html http://tinyurl.com/26lbly Starbucks has made a gesture in the right direction, but it could do *much* more.

Gawd, does TM kill people sense of humor? And, even though it was clearly a joke, it also accurately describes Willy's behavior. Men may be from Mars and women from Venus, but honestly...sometimes Willy just reacts as if he's from Saturn. No *concept* of what is being discussed, no desire to ever *have* a concept of what is being discussed, only an attempt to poke at someone to see if he can get them to react. It's yer classic Internet Troll behavior.
