Damn! And just bought myself Polartec Fleece and a Precip rain jacket.

I knew I was makin' a huge mistake!

Op

I hope you'll change your mind. The guy who owns Polartec is a Saint,
second only to Mother Theresa. Maybe it's a tie.

You've convinced me! I much rather get fleeced than processed.

He's better than Mother Teresa. He's still alive, right?

If every capitalist were like him, this would be a far better world.
(Pardon me if I sound a bit maudlin.)

He may be a capitalist, but he's still a decent human bean!

Describing a truly honest and decent fella, capitalist or not, can hardly be
considered maudlin.

Do you know about him?

Yep, I saw that piece on 60 Minutes some years back. His mills burned to
the ground and he paid his employees salaries for quite a while after the
fire, I believe? Did he end up losing Malden Mills to the bankers, or did
he retain ownership?

If I'm not mistaken, he never even patented his product, considering it to
be to valuable a commodity to be controlled by one individual.


Op --who only dreams of being such a decent individual--
