There's some pretty harsh comments from people regarding that article. We should make sure everyone throughout the country reads the comments. That way, people will quit price shopping.

You know, in a way, this snake oil salesman is correct. Just probably not like he intended. You would think he would spell check, especially if he is going to use quotation marks around it:( Must have been drinking his own kool aid.
