Yet they still vote these fools into office, and believe the crap they spew.

Trevor, did you say Walmart? I heard that this family of owners, the Waltons do nothing to contribute back to the people from the multi millions they pocket at the expense of mom and pop shops going under that can't fight the prices of 'made in china' Walmart big box stores.

Whether it's home items, simple clothes, furniture, hardware, appliances or electronics, they can under price everyone.

They do on the other hand hire a lot of people including the elderly but so does McDonalds and Burger King. At least there, most can tell the difference between processed food and real cooked food. How many can tell the difference between quality goods and Walmart bargains?

Yep, Walmart is pure evil. They hire folks, but you have to know their hiring practices to understand that even at that they are pure evil. They hire people at low wages, and keep their hours below 40 per week which does not qualify them for benefits of any kind. They are basically one step above slave owners. That is what big business is striving for. A slave work force.
The worst part is that these mega companies have so much pull in Washington, that no matter who we elect, the Walmarts of the world have the politicians in their back pocket. That leads to low wages, environmental destruction, a free ride on taxes for the corporations, and the conversion of the middle class to peasant slaves. The only winners are a few CEO's who take everything for themselves and hide the money in other countries. Just like **** Chaney.

Where possible and at all costs, I avoid shopping at Wal-Mart for several reasons, including those Trevor mentions. I choose to support what's left of American made products and will continue to do so.

Our Govt. is and has been getting way too big and the corruption continues on both sides of the party lines. It's going to take a serious shake-up of our apathetic mindset as a people to make a meaningful difference. Our Govt. continues to play on this to their advantage and our detriment. We're like friggin' sheep being led to the slaughter.

"Political Correctness" is destroying and will destroy this country unless swift and genuine change occurs soon. A complete and thorough house-cleaning is way overdue. I believe people who believe in and support our Constitution and Rule Of Law in this country are hearing and seeing just about all they can stomach. Nov. 2nd. will be very telling.

With no disrespect to others opinions and what has been discussed thus far about this topic, this thread is obviously taking a turn into what could become a political fire-storm. On that note, I will attempt to refrain from adding fuel to that potential fire and move on.

Wow, Phill's Cole Hamels pitches a complete game masterpiece to sweep Reds in the NLDS. It's lookin' like another Phillies and Yankees World Series in the making.

Cough, cough,...After a 2 game lead in the ALDS, Rangers get waxed at home. Series goes back to Tampa Tuesday night where Rays will most likely win it to move on and Play Yank's in ALCS.

Biggest difference over last year? The Phill's are a much better team.

What does this mean. Sorry for my ignorance. Tim I would value hearing your thoughts on this topic.
Thank you.

Wow! Cliff Lee is a stud. He pitches a complete game 5 in Tampa to beat Rays 5 - 1. Great Rangers game. I'm glad I missed that prediction!

Yankees and Rangers in ALCS Friday.

[Tim Bishop]

Wow! Just not enough superlatives to describe Cliff Lee. Just Wow! He pitches game 3 for the Rangers. Pitches 8 complete innings, gives up 2 hits, 1 walk, and 13 strikeouts. He was ready to pitch the 9th, however, Rangers spanked the Yanks so badly in the 9th to win 8 - 0. This is looking mighty interesting. Go Rangers!

So it's 2/1 Rangers now? Saw part of the Sunday game where NY lost. We so much wanna see NY and Philly again.
