A patriotic march based on the words of Donald Trump at a recent Pennsylvania campaign event."Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways--it represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow--I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor--did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/facepalm-america--5189985/support.

You are so right about Apple. I also have a Samsung. I boycott a lot of stuff. I buy my clothes from second hand stores and clearance racks. There are whole classes of products I won't buy. Bottled water, soda, alcohol, makeup, fast food, and cable TV. I am very political, but also old. Being old enables you to get away with a lot of stuff; you are merely dismissed as being old, or labeled eccentric.
