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?

Frankly, I don't follow those allegations with the vigor that you obviously
do.

The bottom line is that Wal-Mart effectively serves a large part of the
population. I don't go "shopping" often and go to Wal-Mart even less but
when I do I always take note of the number of young families shopping for
necessities for the household or personal needs. They do so because they
need to stretch their buying power and the prices at Wal-Mart are
attractive. I certainly remember those days.

The other day I noticed that a couple of those miniature 12 volt, 10 watt
halogen lights were out on the Navigator.
I stopped by West Marine to pick up half a dozen or so and had sticker shock
at the price. Over 5 bucks each.
I am not exactly a penny-pincher, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that
much for a stupid little light.

Went to our local hardware store and they were priced at about the same.
Now I was on a mission.
Went to Wal-Mart and found a larger stock of the same bulb, in the same
Phillips packaging for almost a dollar less per bulb.

Then, I was hooking up a DLP projector and needed an extra long "S" video
cord. Radio Shack only had 12 footers.
Same with Best Buy and Circuit City. None carried the "S" video barrel
connectors that allow hooking two or more cords together. The guy at
Circuit City turned his head back and forth to make sure we weren't being
overheard and then suggested Wal-Mart. Sure enough, they carried 25 foot
"S" video cords and the hard to find barrel connectors as well.

So, Wal-Mart ain't all bad in my book.

Careful. If you disagree too much, you'll join us in his 'bozo bin'. We who
are so defiled are having a nice time in there, and we don't want it to get
too crowded!

I think the plan is that we ALL make sure we are put in his bozo bin.
That constructively ousts Harry and leaves the rest of us here
participating as always but without his input.


There are a couple here who still find Harry 'enlightening'! But, I like
the idea.

However, he seems to find a way to respond to most of the posts from those
who are in his 'killfile'.
