Really? Does Larry also think the bitty Bose speaker systems are
crap, and that you cannot violate the laws of physics when it
comes to sound reproduction?
Bitty Bose speaker systems may be crap, but the ol' Doc has done
pretty well:

So has Dick Cheney. Doesn't mean he isn't crap, too. Sometimes there
is a connection between money and quality, and sometimes there
isn't. Wal-Mart does a tremendous amount of business, and yet it is
a crap operation.

You must feel like a voice in the wilderness since thousands,
hundreds of thousands and millions of people feel otherwise everyday.

I saw a documentary about Wal-Mart the other day. They have a
central computer system that is second in size only to that used by
the Pentagon. The sale of any item, from a plasma TV to a tube of
toothpaste at any store nationwide is reported to the central
computer within an hour of the sale. Trends are monitored as well as
weather forecasts for all areas because a storm or unusual weather
event historically raises the demand for certain items. The computer
data results in extra stock of those items being shipped to the
affected area from several distribution centers, days before the
storm system arrives.

You are talking about "operations." I am talking about Wal-Mart as an
operation, one that violates wage-hour laws, hires illegals and then
lies about it, facilitates the slave labor trade in China.

If you think WalMart is such a terrible organization, why in the world
would you save a coupon to Walmart?
