I encourage you to ponder the Biblical exhortation of "False pride goeth before a fall.

A CA GUY is absolutely correct in his assement, regardless of your sanctimonious injunction. Add me to the list of people you do not approve of.

All of this whining about Walmart reminds me of a book I read some time ago by Judge Robert Bork called "Slouching Towards Gomorrah". Judge Bork, who was on Hannity and Colmes Wednesday eve. the 25th, and was the first modern judge to be blocked by the socialist left U.S. Senate, says that the big decline in America pretty much started in the 1960's.

Judge Bork writes that the two major problems that have torn this country apart are the rise of what he calls "radical individualism" (it's okay to do whatever you want without regards to laws and mores) and "radical egalitarianism".

These whiners are examples of people who believe that everyone is entitled, not just to an equal OPPORTUNITY to succeed in life but rather, equal OUTCOMES! That's what he means by radical egalitarianism. In their eyes, it doesn't matter whether you have an education or not. You're ENTITLED to receive, from the government (obviously, that's all of us) just as much as the people who have worked hard all of their lives to achieve some measure of success due to their own efforts. They can keep their socialism!

I recommend the book if you'd like to better understand why this county has gone "to h*ll in a hand basket" over the past forty years or so.
