<P>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.<BR>--<BR>Joe Campbell<BR><BR>---- "g. crabtree" <JAMPOT

exactly what is it that you were reading? Apparently the "no santa" news hit you
kind of hard. You come across as though I gave Your puppy an electronic kick.
>From the top, I did not offer you any advise on limiting your choices. I don't
beleive that I was "a rude old bastard" at any point in my post. My post does
not respond to your so called main point because you don't make it. Offering up
your subjective experience and feelings is not the same thing. I did not respond
to your questions because as near as I can tell you did'nt ask any and I sure
don't see any insult intended or otherwise. I would not dream of asking you to
trust my opinon on this matter. I would ask you to consider the facts that are
presented by people far better informed than myself, perhaps sleep on them and
then try getting up on the right side of the bed.<BR><BR>"Crabtree"<BR>-----

not a question of being forthcoming, Crabtree, it is a question of being
informative.<BR><BR>I really don't need advice from you about how I should or
shouldn't limit my choices. I could tell you not to cry about having to go to
Pullman to get your Super Wal-Mart crap. Well, I could if I was a rude old
bastard like you. And how does any of the rant below respond to my main point,
which is that the so-called 'free market' does not lead to a greater number of
choices? It leads, I claim, to coke or pepsi; McDonalds or Wendy's; Pullman
Super Wal-Mart or Moscow Super Wal-Mart. Of course, expecting you to respond to
my questions is to suppose that you actually wanted to engage in some dialogue
instead of insult people in public.<BR><BR>I hate to tell you but I don't trust
your opinion that two Super Wal-Marts in a 15 mile area won't change the town
for the worse. But that's only because you give me no reason to think that you
know what the hell you're talking about.<BR>--<BR>Joe Campbell<BR><BR>---- "g.

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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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 Hanson. Wal-Mart wont change that
equation very much.<BR><BR>G. Crabtree<BR><BR></P></DIV>
