[Vision2020] Wal-Mart a friend to those on a limited budget....

[g. crabtree]

How lovely. Mr. Campbell, in his enthusiasm to promote "human rights" would 
not only like to dictate where you shop but also what you shop for. I sure 
hope that you have the "Campbell Approved" number of autos, TV's, and CD's. 
Perhaps Joe could publish a list with the correct numbers for each income 
group for us to check ourselves off against. This promises to be more fun 
than Joan's "How Much of a Meddlesome Lefty Are You?" quiz. Number of CD's 
for a $35,000.00 income and the correct answer is...50? No, I'm sorry. 
Reeducation camp for you, ya exploitive oppressor! Man, I can hardly wait. 
It's a new day dawning in good old Moscow.
