[Vision2020] One more WalMart thing . . .

[g. crabtree]

Perfesser Campbell, Looks to me like a case of if you can't make a coherent argument, make an incoherent fuss. In the post that seems to have driven you around the bend, I didn't offer much by way of opinion and the facts I mentioned are incontrovertible. There ARE in fact many towns with & without Wal-Marts. If my writing style puts a burr under your saddle that's one thing, but hurling invective and insult is hardly responding in kind. In fact, to me, it seems like the response of a 6 year old. As to your "testing" please feel free to have at it. I really don't feel compelled to make any kind of a grade in your class.

  I have considered all the 'facts' that you have presented. It is your opinions that I disagree with most. My last post had less to do with my being offended than it does with my testing to see if you can take the same kind of stuff that you dish out. I tend to treat people the same way that they treat me.

  Mr. Campbell, What I said with Regard to KB was " KB toys was undergoing a certain amount of financial disorganization at the time the local store closed." Sorry I wasn't more forthcoming with the gruesome details.

  My argument is not, and never was, that there should be legislation that provides you with as many choices as your little heart might desire. If you elect to limit your own choices by avoiding the use of the internet and mail order outlets I couldn't care less although it seems odd that on one hand you cry out for choice and then go out of your way to avoid it. Must be a philosopher thing.

  I have no opinion about your motives, selfish or otherwise but how does having the herd get together and "just say no to Wal-Mart" make Moscow unique? Thousands of communities have no Wal-Mart. Thousands of towns do. Where is the unique? I really hate to be the guy to break the news that there is no Santa but this is Anytown, USA. It has its good points and people and it has its bad points and Tom Hansen. Wal-Mart wont change that equation very much.
