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.


And if they were dragged into a union you would support them with no
concern about the products they sell, right?
