This is America. We would sell a baby back to it's mother if possible. So I say for those who really care; hold the vision in your hear and/or heart and work from there.

I think you hit the crux of the matter with this question: <br /><br />'Why is it different from President's Day Sales?'<br /><br />How would you answer the above?<br /><br /><br />NesterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
