I forwarded an article from the Seattle Times yesterday that detailed how 2 
reports concluded that over 3,100 Wal-Mart workers in Washington state were 
receiving state-subsidized health coverage throughout 2004, nearly double 
the total for any other company.  As many as 20 percent of Wal-Mart's 
employees were getting taxpayer-funded health care for themselves or their 
dependents, according to the article.  I thought this would engender some 
discussion.  I'm not qualified to comment, since your average cactus plant 
is better versed in economics than me.  But I did find it interesting.  Oh. 
by the way, Dan, Lara Croft would kick Chuck Norris's butt six ways from 
Sunday.  And then she'd run off with Brad Pitt.  Not that I'm bitter, or 
anything.
