Rollins I can take or leave.
WalMart I abhor.
The not so subtle agenda in that piece, particularly a select staement in the final 20 seconds or so, is unnecessary and biased, and rendered what valid points he managed to make useless IMO.
I don't particularly want or need social commentary from a past his prime punk rocker. If I did, I'd care more about what Johnny Rotten thinks. But I don't care what Johnny Rotten thinks, so...

Nope. But I learned something from it. I learned that Henry Rollins, for all his posturing and grandstanding, is as for sale as anyone else.

Honestly, a little. The world has always had and will always have a few renegades in it. He always struck me as one or damn close.

walmart is what is good about america? if you're into shit for cheap, that's fine. i used to buy target ammo there. but there isn't much else there of interest. but, then, you prolly think velveeta is cheese, tang is orange juice, and pressboard furniture is cool. so maybe it floats your boat. and that's fine...

okay. i'll spring for the kneepads. you sure do have a pretty smile.
no, obviously no one should "go without" but i wonder would folks be better off buying higher quality food for their kids rather than the latest HDTV gizmo? now, it's not my place to tell them what to do... but it's certainly within my rights to observe, comment, and choose to live in a different way.
Go to Kroger & spend $100. on "higher quality foods".
Go to Wallyworld & buy the same stuff. Oh, look, enough left over to buy a kiddie pool.
Hmmm, why is the $698. TV at Schmoes Discount Audio Video $198. more than at WalMart?
They give those who can't/didn't earn a pHD (and the attached salary increase) an opportunity to have a little more.
Again, Don't like it, don't go there.

dude i was shit poor and working my ass off for a while earning that sheepskin, so don't penalize me for enjoying the fruits of my labor. unless you is some kinda commie that don't believe in 'merica.
right. i'm not interested in the stuff at walmart. so i don't go there.
i'm not interested in the stuff at kroger, either. so i don't go there.
i buy some expensive shit because i've earned that ability.

Jody works there, and we shop there sometimes. We don't hate the place at all (nor do we particularly love it), but we both thought the cartoon was hilarious, is that a crime? She actually likes working there with a few exceptions (rotten scheduling more than anything). Generally things aren't funny if there isn't a lot of truth to it.
