You really provem the greater fool theory. WMT made more money because its bigger but what I like to know is how many Arkansans participated in those profits? Do they have a profit sharing plan with their employees? What benefits do their employees get? Are they lucky to get paid? So then, explain to me again why Arkansas is so poor? Never mind.....now that I know WMT is your biggest corp. I understand. Yes. In fact, WMT is one of the biggest corporations in existence, idiot. And it grew to that because its founder was one of the most brilliant people ever to run a business. Oh, shit, no, a stupid Arkansan! Seems to me he did okay.

Typical Blue stater. Man arrested in river ambush on 3 Wis. swimmers Aug 1 05:55 PM US/Eastern By DINESH RAMDE Associated Press Writer Write a Comment This 2008 high school yearbook photo, provided by Lifetouch Photography,... Beacon Ambulance, Kingsford Public Saftey Officers and volunteer firefighters... NIAGARA, Wis. (AP) - A gunman suspected of opening fire on a group of young swimmers gathered along a riverbank was arrested Friday after he emerged from woods near the scene where three teenagers were slain and a fourth person was wounded. Scott J. Johnson, 38, was dressed in camouflage when deputies confronted him following an all-night manhunt. He dropped his assault rifle as officers approached. "We believe he was in the woods and near our officers who were also in the woods all night," said Jerry Sauve, chief's sheriff's deputy in Marinette County. Nine young adults had gathered at a railroad bridge to go swimming in the Menominee River when the gunman appeared Thursday afternoon and opened fire, authorities said. Investigators have not determined a motive. The sheriff said there was no communication between the gunman and his victims. Johnson, who was from the nearby town of Iron Mountain, Mich., was taken to jail to await an initial court appearance. He had not been formally charged, and it was not immediately known whether he had an attorney. More than 100 law enforcement officers from at least 10 agencies were called in to search for the gunman. Authorities set up roadblocks and evacuated some homes in the northern Wisconsin area just across the state line from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Sheriff Jim Kanikula said the shooter was only 7 to 10 feet from one victim when he fired. "There's a saying up here that this is a great place to raise kids," said Randy Van Gasse, school superintendent in nearby Norway, Mich., where 17-year-old victim Tiffany Pohlson would have been a senior in the fall. "That's been violated and we don't know why," he said. "This is obviously a shock to everybody." A woman who answered the door at a Kingsford, Mich., residence and identified herself as Johnson's mother said she was too distraught to speak with a reporter. "They're not telling me nothing," she said tearfully. "I'm going crazy here. I wish they'd tell me something." The other dead were identified as Anthony Spigarelli, 18; and Bryan Mort, 19. A fourth victim, 20-year-old Daniel Louis Gordon, was wounded. All were also from Michigan. Niagara is about 210 miles north of Milwaukee.
