If a Richmond duke wants to pick up canned goods from me I'd be happy to contribute but I won't step foot at hardy wood. Never the less, sounds like a good cause, thanks for posting!

You can't make a statement like that without some clarification. Open up.

I'm not a supporter of businesses that blatantly try to "beat the system" and not follow set laws (e.g. pay taxes, adhere to safety codes, etc.) just because they think they are holier than thou. It's not fair to the companies that do. It wasn't even as much their violations as it was the way they responded through the media.

I also find it amusing, at least among my friends, that the one's who salary dictates they should be drinking PBR/Natty willingly pay $5/beer but won't save money to move out of the ghetto or to buy their kids non-used clothes. I know that doesn't apply to everyone, but just in general, I find it amusing that craft beer has become so trendy, even among people that should probably be spending their income otherwise.

Trust me, I know I'm in the minority on this one. Everyone loves Hardywood except me, I get it. I also don't like Seinfeld. I do, however, give to lots of charities. I'd be happy to give to this one too.

End rant.

Fair enough!!! Anybody who has a half-a-brain will have certain things that raise an eyebrow. I get it, as I have a few of my own. You had simply left me scratching my head.
