<<Do you shop at Target? Owned by Dayton-Hudson, renamed Target.>>

Nope. Maybe once a year, if that.

<<Do you shop at QFC? Owned by Kroger.>>

Rarely, but when it comes to food it's a lot harder to avoid the big guys.

<<Do you shop at the Bon? Owned by Federated.>>

rarely.

<<Oh, and the LCE Grand theatre in Lynnwood where you saw Fahrenheit 9/11, it's majority controlled by Sony. >>

same as groceries, very few ma and pa theaters around any more, and if Michael Moore's movie had been playing at one of them and it wasn't sold out (like many of the other theaters in this area were) that would have been my choice.
