Thoughts on Wal-Mart...

[Mr. P]

Agreed. You quickly learn where to shop, depending on what you need... If I need bulk items and coffee, and dairy, I'm going to Walmart.. If I need decent bakery, and produce, I'm going to Pick & Save.. If I need a decent selection of greeting cards, I'm not going to either of those places - I'm going to Hallmark..

Since everything is packed into a 1 mile radius (our "downtown" is about 3 blocks long), I can pick and choose where, and what...

So you're shop smart but for price too..

I do, and it's not ignorant at all, it's smart. If A, B an C sell the same product and A is $10, B is $20 and C is $30 it's a no brainer. Unless of course you are ignorant.

In a way, yes....
But since this is a Democracy, the people need to take the first step.
If the majority says no, thats when the government takes action.

Sorry, but this is a Democratic Republic. Just because the majority wants it, doesn't make it legal. As I said before, the survival of small business depends on the consumer. If the business can not fill a niche, they will not survive. The popularity of Wal-Mart should not dictate their survival, nor should gov't intervention.

Wow - is there an Echo in here?

You're close, but it's not a "Democratic Republic" - it's a Constitutional Republic..

Walmart is the White Trash capitol of the USA. Everytime I go in there I expect to run into Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson.
