 <title>Comment on Node  ant</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;What was I thinking, supporting my local, independently owned retail stores??? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead, we should collectively shun them so they have to close, forcing the owners to sell off assets for pennies on the dollar, putting them deeper in debt or bankruptcy...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;...so that the landlord (also, likely local) can sit on an empty space for as long as his savings holds out, in hopes it can be leased to someone new during rough economic times....&lt;/p&gt;
