Reply #38: it's a straw man, and a damned poor one at that....

You show me some real data that suggests a significant number of folks who shop at Walmart have starving children and I promise you, I will try to find solutions. I'm sure there are a few-- it's a big country. But like I said, my community-- an economically depressed rural community with high unemployment and underemployment, a community in which only 12-14 percent of county residents can afford a median priced home in their own community-- my community rejected a Walmart in a public referendum a few years ago and NOT ONE SINGLE CHILD has starved or suffered otherwise as a result, as far as I can tell.
