Kingbee-
Wal-mart employs people that otherwise would not be employed. If they were really skilled and hard working, then free-marked would again come into play, and they'd go find a higher paying job somewhere else. It's not that Wal-mart's pay is putting these people on welfare, it's just that the people that work there happen to be the people that will always be on welfare.

Ok, you're right, I'm probably taking the rant too seriously. But day in and day out I hear people bashing Wal-Mart for being a successful business. Same with Microsoft. Microsoft is just a company trying to tightly integrate their platform, and make things run well together. For this they're called anti-competetive. I've got a hint for you software companies whining about Microsoft not playing nicely- Don't write software for Windows if you can't live by their terms!
I never called you a liberal, but from where I stand, you certainly are. Though, I do like this new brand of Democrat- the centrist democrat. It just goes to show that the US really is fully behind conservative American values. And all the old democrats, or young democrats with the old democratic agenda are shown as the whacko's they are. So yeah, Zell Miller, we'd be happy to take you into the Republican party, and bring all your democrat-lite friends. There's power in numbers, and this election season we need it.
Oh, and you know you'd stick it to Ann Coulter in a heartbeat. Admit it, thatoneguy.......
