Don’t be a back to school dork
Just because I am a dork and watch the local news sometimes, don’t let that turn you in to a consumer friggen idiot. Tonight I saw a piece on comparison back to school shopping. The reporter bought pens, glue, a notebook and pencils at both Wal-Mart and several other stores.
Even though on average Wal Mart came up $1.50 cheaper, the newscast pointed out that they practice a deceptive marketing scheme called “loss product.” Basically what that means is they lower prices on certain items because they know once you are in the store you will pay a higher price on other items.
Don’t be a back to school dork. Whether you are a parent or student, join the thousands of others who do not want to support the horrible worker practices of Wal Mart by teaming up with the Wake-up Walmart movement.
Kids are going back to school soon. Make your dollars speak by not shopping at Wal Mart.
When talking about the war and what it means and talk as if they know something about the sacrifices being made in Iraq it is a good idea to listen to those who are there or have served.
Take the opportunity to read what the veterans have to say. It offers an education for everybody as the political divisions argued here have little impact on those in the military, Republican or Democrat the orders are the same and our men and women of honor will do their best.

The Last War
Freedom, Peace and Security will NEVER be won nor secured by the sword, another war will always need to be fought to end the fear of the sharp blade against the vital thoughts of change.
The last war will be waged without soldiers or freedom fighters, without blood shed or death, no rockets red glare, no bombs bursting anywhere.
The last war will not cause suffering, broken hearts, splintered spirits, or shattered bodies and souls, the creation of nature and man will not be crushed under the rolling thunder of armored machines, chemicals will not rain down from above, maniacal viruses will not attack from within, suicide terror raids, genocide, and nuclear holocaust will have no place in the last war, the casualties will be the end of competition, industry, government and religion which plan for and carry out the destruction, addiction and control of others.
The last war will be waged BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE, a war where all things will be TREATED as equal, a war employing weapons of MASS COOPERATION, battles fought and won with tolerance for all, understanding of difference, awareness of responsibility, a war in which compassion and love conquer and destroy the final evil enemy of humankind, the last war, the mother of all wars, the war to end all wars, must be waged upon fear.
We the People, declare a global war on fear.
How do we the people start this war, how do we wage this war, how do we the people win the last war ?
We start by turning away from those who support fear, by denying our services, our employment, our political, financial, moral and spiritual support to those who build and profit from the economy of competition, addiction and war.
We wage the last war by demanding that our energy and environment be clean and renewable, by demanding that the thousands of billions of dollars spent yearly on making the weapons and means of war be shifted and added to the nearly meaningless hundreds of billions which is reluctantly parted out for social, health, education and domestic infrastructure.
We win the last war by simply entrusting our votes, our support, our children’s and grandchildren’s lives to those of US whose words and actions – DELIVER – compassion, love and truth.
We the people can, will and must defeat fear.

Dude, everyone does this. Its a common practice. Every store in that report did it also, they news reporter probably did not like walmart, or was an uninformed idiot.
the newscast pointed out that they practice a deceptive marketing scheme called “loss product.”
I hate to break it to you, but EVERYONE does that. It’s basic marketing strategy. Better start complaining about grocery stores (even family-owned ones) and every other store you can think of. Might I suggest you start growing and producing your own products, if you find loss-leader marketing so evil?

People point to Walmart and cry “anti-union”.
Unions enable disfavored people to live satisfactorly without addressing their disfavor. This way their family’s problems are never resolved. Without the union they would have to accept the heirarchy, their own inferiority.
Unions serve to empower.
Walmart is anti-union because they are good. They try to help people address and resolve their problems by creating an enviornment where there are fewer hurdles.
Media ridicule and lawsuits are creations to reinforce people’s belief that Walmart is evil in a subsegment of the industry dominated by the middle and lower classes.
Low-cost disfavored Chinese labor is utilized by corporate america to maximize margins. They all do it. Only WalMart gets fingered because they are the ones who help, and those who seek to create confusion in the marketplace want to eliminate the vast middle class who have a real chance and instead stick with lower classes who may not work otherwise. So they dirty him up while allowing the others to appear clean.
I believe the coining of the term “Uncle Sam” was a clue alluding to just this::Sam Walton’s WalMart is one of few saviors of the peasant class.
