[Vision2020] Wal-Mart is Unwelcome

[Art Deco]

Facts are nice.  Personal attacks are entertaining and most of the time to 
the attacker, satisfying.  It would be unrealistic not expect many of us on 
V 2020 top be other than basely human.

>>Kai and Phil,

>>Thanks for your responses.  Maybe I took your comments the wrong way, and 
>>if I did, I'm sorry.  I think that there are very few places, other than 
>>the former Cabrini-Greene in Chicago or the El Encanto neighborhood in 
>>Tucson, perhaps, that are "all" slum or "all" prosperous.  I guess I 
>>bristle at things like that because it tends to dismiss the successes of 
>>the people in the "slums" and overlook the rot in the tony areas.  I'm not 
>>naive; the neighborhood I grew up in was and is fairly run down, but I 
>>know that decisions that were purported to have been made because of how 
>>government perceived us rarely had our best interests in mind.
>>
>>Again, though, your respect and candor in correcting me is appreciated.
