hey there Mark Dorm,
It appears you like to shop at Costco but refuse to buy a
membership.....interesting!
Their buying power translates to great prices....how unfortunate for us
consumers!
My wife & I save more by buying at Costco than by buying at other places,
which makes up for the membership fee & Im told they have a very low amount
of theft, possably because they require ID...which again translates to low
prices...again, how unfortunate for us consumers!
You lose credability by mentioning constitution & first amendment...As for
being a cancer, they draw businesses to their areas  & pay their staff very
well & I know that the Company & their staff are huge contributors to the
United way & to school literacy programs.  You could do better by aiming at
other businesses in your defamation!
