Support Small Business this Christmas, NOT Amazon or Google

[Carl]

I ask that those shopping via the Internet, support Small business by avoiding Amazon or Google Search when ever possible.

While with Amazon, there certainly are cases where an item can only be found at Amazon, but often this is not the case and in fact the item is actually not the same or even a counterfeit

As for Google there simply is no excuse, as there are clearly better search engines such as DuckDuckGo  (my favorite)  and Bing
