I like Walmart. They have blueberry pie for 50 cents and elmers glue for 10. They're also open 24 hours a day and have really cheap candy, and I bought Reservoir Dogs there for 9 dollars.. Also, you can make prints off of your digital camera for only 30 cents a picture. I have absolutely no problem with Walmart.
Their art supplies are more expensive than Ben Franklin though, which is insane.

I try to support the independent stores.

Just hate how they shut everyone down.

I rather pay more money to a local store that pays people a decent wage.

They don't shut anyone down.

I dunno, if shit is about to medeival, I can understand the inclination to go after firearms to protect/feed your family. Its pretty much kill or be killed.

It was quite amusing watching two policewomen (in uniform) stocking up on shoes. When one policewoman notices the camera, she plays it off as scoping the place for looters, while several of them are running passed her with carts. Quite amusing. I'm sure you'll see the video on MSNBC.

I don't think mine would be either.

I would just be happy to be alive.

I bet that was interesting.

I was totally agreeing with you about gettin' shit---I'm just saying that I personally would be going after the guns.

its not racist to recognize that there are a lot of black people on the news looting.

its racist to think they are looting because of some trait that is inherent in their race.

the 2nd viewpoint is totally ridiculous.

I didn't say you were. But I agree with you. What I've seen doesn't flatter them one bit, and all human beings should be embarrassed.

The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reports today that a Wal-Mart in the Lower Garden District was looted, and the entire gun collection was taken.

Yeah, I've seen it. Frontline makes some pretty undeniable correlations in it. Frontline is prob my favorite hour of television everyweek. I can't wait for the new season to start in late sept. I believe it to be nonbiased as I do NPR, but most republicans I know, including my dad, call it pinko-comi-liberal-journalism.

yeah, honestly i'm not sure that i've ever seen anyone that drunk. he passed out on the toilet long enough for one of us to rationalize driving in the state that we were in and decide that the need for a disposable camera was so pressing that the risk was worth it. thus, there is photographic evidence of the destruction. if you've ever seen my air guitar pic, it's the guy on the left, although not from that same night.
