			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Who actually reads the <a href="http://www.shop3m.com/terms-and-conditions.html">Terms &#038; Conditions</a> prior to completing an online purchase of consumer goods?  After all, we all expect nothing more than one unremarkable paragraph after another of boilerplate.  At least, until it is not.  The following paragraph stood out while I was glancing through the T&#038;Cs / Purchase Agreement.</p>
<blockquote><p>BUYER may not resell, distribute or transfer as part of commercial activity the PRODUCT(S) purchased on shop3M.com to any third party. </p></blockquote>
<p>So, if you buy a pack of bandages from the manufacturer, you cannot resell them?</p>

<p>Of course, the government sees nothing wrong with companies paying millions in bonuses to executives, unless they are taking <a href="http://contracts.onecle.com/alpha/156.shtml">TARP money</a>.</p>
