We can be selfish AND not shop at Walmart. Target is where I go mostly. I pay maybe 3% more and still save tons. Sioux

When the men who took my $ and ran ..along with other people's money too....they got five years with possibility of parole. The other night a program talked about fraud and how often it is perpetrated.. The penalty one year.. CRIME PAYS. This is what our government teaches us.. AND if you have to serve longer sentences the president steps in an pardons.. But not when women are on death row. That's when Georgie pulled the plug and laughed at her.. the one that turned religious ? Forget her name. She and her lawyers tried for a stay of execution. G.W gave her the juice. Nice guy George. A man with lots of feelings..

Do not shop at Walmart. It's evil. I live in N. Id., an economically depressed area. Everyone I know that works at WalMart is damned glad to have the job. They have no better alternatives. Since WalMart arrived, employment in the area has received a VERY significant boost. And WalMart wages -- and benefits -- are higher than existed at the various ma & pa shops prior to their arrival. Because their prices are considerably lower than local competition, economic activity has increased. Suppose for a moment that WalMart employees are forced to work for bread and water at gunpoint. For every WM employee, there are multiples who, in effect, have received a nice bump in the value of their pay checks because their checks buy more "stuff". Folks who can't think ought learn to keep their mouths shut.
