Re: Free Speech, Kickstarter, and Trolls

Tasha, Thanks for the reply and thoughts. I found a few threads across the Internet on this person. Let's say that he's not a person I'd befriend.

Chicken Salt Kickstarter...why?

I looked at the Chicken Salt Kickstarter (a Food project). Per the Kickstarter, you can get 1 bottle of Chicken Salt for $10.00 (includes shipping). However, on Amazon I can get the same item for $3.99 plus $3.16 shipping. So...the product is already commercially available and cheaper outside the Ki...

I would invest in the c...
