Nice people, and REALLY nice people
This is cheery and puts a lump in my throat: "I want to say thank you to Wal-Mart. My town, Mountain View, Arkansas, was hit by a tornado on February 5th. The Super Tuesday Tornado tore a 123 mile swath through the state, staying on the ground for that entire distance, and leaving a half-mile to a mile wide path behind it. We lost all contact with the eastern half of the county. The hospital was destroyed. The ambulance service was destroyed. We could use the telephone locally (to reach part of the county) but long-distance service was out. Highways from the east, south and north were blocked. Before dawn, before communications were restored, a Wal-Mart truck arrived with a huge generator. They got power to the Murphy gas station -- the only souce of fuel in the county now, since no other station had power. They powered up the Super Wal-Mart. They began feeding people who had lost their homes, or who had no way to cook. More and more Wal-Mart trucks rolled in, with emergency supplies -- batteries, canned goods, blankets, generators -- everything we needed. And they did this before we could send a call for help. They did it without asking."
But what has it to do with the fact that more and more of our Constitution is be trampled on by too many institutions. Nice people help others in need. But REALLY nice people do all that they can to (1.) protect America, (2.) protect her Constitution, and (3) protect her citizens' jobs. Attention Wally: three strikes, and you are out. You try to act American but you smell Chinese. IMHO
Thank you, Wal-Mart.
