    Awesome!

    That should keep many poor Americans able to afford some of their medications. My sister would have been alive today if her medications would have been affordable.

    Tampa Bay area...great news!

    i always feel like i'm in some parallel universe when i go into walmart. i'm like "who are these people and where did they come from?" not everyone there. but a lot of them. i don't know i prefer target.

    One person's wal-mart is another person's moving train :D

    But I agree, Target sells the same shit, for the same price, but for some reason, people's weight seem to approximate the mean much more than wal-mart.
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    WALMART ROCKS!

    ALWAYS LOW PRICES, ALWAYS!

    Plus who really gives a rats fat ass whether they work illegal immigrants...nobody is doing anything to send em back (personally I'm all for ellian gonzalas type raids in the middle of the night to ship em all back south, but until then) ...might as well get some work out of em for $3 an hour... so I can keep buying my milk for $1.50 a gallon!

    Great! Now I gotta go to my doctor so I can get diagnosed with some disease process and get drugs cheap from Walmart!

    Who makes the drugs that are going to be used on the Walmart generation. How do you know what is in any drug you take unless you are a chemist?
    Massive drug trials on an unknowing population... What happens to the drugs prices and when Walmart is the only distributer?

    Welcome to the United States of Walmart inc.
    Coming soon... Walmartopia... the 3rd planet from the sun.
    There's no way to stop it though. Just having awareness of what is going on.
    And it's not the union's fault. It was going to happen anyway.

    The nice thing about variety is our ability to choose. For those that choose this road, I wont knock it, I just wont try it. It's self-determination. There are so many things that you can get naturally to alleviate diseases and symptoms. When people forget about herbs, roots and plants natural healing powers, what happens if the drug system breaks down? he drug compaies want us to forget what we have the potential to do for ourselves so that we will be utterly dependant on them for our every need. It seems to me that when you cant find something you want at one store, you go to another. As more businesses crumble in because they can't compete with Walmarts and Targets, what happens when we only have the choice between the two? Will you take the red pill, or the blue pill? We are slowly loosing our ability to choose.

    Peace

    This is your best "quippy" post ever. For me anyway, because it is my very thought.

    Most wal-mart threads turn into either the political, or (as in this case) personal feelings on Wal-Mart. But this drug thing is interesting.

    What am I to do indeed? I hate Wal-Mart, for some of the "parellel universe" reasons today, becasue I am anti-sprawl (though that is all "big box" stores), because of the way they treat their employees and because of the "nothing made in America" affect that it has on the working class--the very people they are supposed to be saving.

    I know a few of you people talk about how we are over-medicated--but as someone with asthma and acid reflux, my perscriptions are litterally life savers. And the cost of medication is getting out of hand. If this will bring the price down, it has to be a positive, I would think (even though some of Wal-Mart's price lowering literrally costs us decent blue collar jobs).

    I still won't be going to Wal-Mart, but as a professional person, it is a luxury I have. Somone who can barely affort to eat and get their meds will benefit from this.

    This will knock my anti-wal-mart-itis down a peg--from 11 to 10 ;)
    I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.
