Years ago, I wrote the Ocean Spray cranberry corp., with the idea they combine their c. juice with Celestial teas for a remarkable new product, they wrote back, they didnt accept ideas from outside their co. Same with Taco Bell, I suggested they have national marachi duos on tour of their units, raising money for charities. Their managers of units loved the idea, nope, said Taco Bell, no outside ideas. Carls Jr. restaurants also said no. To Jack In The Box, I wrote your eggrolls and finger foods are delightful, why not have partypaks of them on holidays, you'll make a fortune. Same answer, apparently Jack has a lower iq than even I thought. Last year, having ordered some jewelry boxes from the Rio Grande Gem Co., in Albuquerque, N.M. I developed a way, that the boxes could be improved to bring the pieces displayed up to the transparent top for obvious better viewing of them. I submitted a sample to them. No response. Though they boast in print their interest in ideas from clients. They could easily put the idea into production, and I would never know. This is America, right?, ideas made this nation succeed. Go ahead, suggest something to a corporation, if they dont steal it, the answer is, yes, no. See the following page, for an outlandish example. But first consider, that for months I had on my now retired Freetailer.com site a suggestion that the local Palo Verde College set up an interconnecting internet service with other colleges, to develop a site where one could click up a U.S. map, then to a state, then to an exact town and location, listing what they wanted to buy, then having all stores in area, addresses etc. available. Did they do it?, of course not, they live off public funding, why should they want to help student employment? (now suggested to Catholic Church, link to VOTEDAVISDOWN, near bottom of page)The California San Bernardino County District Attorney Office has received public awards for anti Elder abuse, They were responsible for the city council person not being arrested for taking in his dead baby, an issue since Aug. 19, 00.; yesterday, their office protested my sending a 41 email file defining local racketeering. /July 23, their email address IS blocking my emails to them. Isnt freedom wonderful? / (They havent inquired about my false arrest on Jan.29,01, as an Elder issue, I am an Elder.) Recently, their local office told me the D.A. office only had an email address for inter office use, she lied. Are they to suck a lollipop of corruption while advertising Justice as a commodity, only they can sell? (BE AWARE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY HAS A SERIAL RAPIST SHERIFF DEPUTY NOW WAITING TRIAL) / We are all innudated with how the Native Americans have a honored tradition of holding the environment sacred and they, its caretakers. The local Needles, Ca., tribal council sat up a group called Ward Valley and brought in hundreds of protestors, including wise elders and dancers from other tribes to stop a government proposed nuclear dump nearby, and they stopped it! However, THEIR hypocrisy is remarkable, for across the river in Arizona, they yearly, spray their cotton ranches with insecticides(now in progress) causing breathing problems for their elderly and children and ours. Later they will spray with herbicides and agent orange type defoliants, and still later, they will burn those fields with that mixture of those toxins.* The tribal administration has not responded to protest. Maybe, the air we breathe isnt sacred? I have to wonder, if the U.S.D.A. food commodities alotted tribes arent being used for the profits of their casinos. Sovereignty financed by tax payers.(I once suggested they use their food wastes from their casinos for chicken ranches, but apparently. like Needles, Ca., they prefer government funding instead. Another corp. issue, when I arrived here in Needles, Ca. the local Rite-Aid Pharmacy had a threadbare store, its shelves barely half supplied, so I got on the phone to the main headquaters, for weeks, insisting the store being stocked, the local employees had told me, it was a warehouse problem. Lo and behold, the store was stocked. Did I get a gift from the corporation, nope, they blocked me from being able to reach anyone at that number. (In l998, while living homeless in Coachella, Ca. I took into their store, a 40.00 winning lottery ticket, I had found to make a copy of it, and one of their employees walked over to the machine, lifting its lid, flashing the light in my eyes, stealing it! I found out her name, reported it to management and then later to Ca. main office. They sent me a letter of apology and a 20.00 credit card. How cheap! On one of my recipe pages, I have a great idea using one of their products, how much more can I do for them? (*Before I left Needles, Ca. someone gave me a tour of the Mohave Indian reservation, their U.S. taxpayer housing division was covered in trash! Then on to their new high swank gated housing development, mansions all on a water canal, what a glorious sight, all Federal funded in spite of their booming casino, AVI , which means translated, MONEY! SUCKERS WE.

In aprox. 1998, I eas camping out in Coachelaa, Ca. next to a rr track and in walking found a $40.00 winning lottery ticket. At the nearby Rite Aid store, I attempted to make a copy of it, but a front clerk rushed over and raised the lid of the copier, spraying the light, blinding me and APPARENTLY TOOK IT. I didnt notice til later, having also been copying some legal documents. I reported it to the store mgr. who seemed amused. Later I wrote the headquarters of Rite Aid, and they sent a $20.00 credit merchandise card and a letter of apology...how cheap...what they dont know, my reporting to the FBI that I observed in that same store, an obvious drug operation, by their traveling inventory crew, or at least, it appeared highly suspicious, I am after all, a trained observor of such matters.
