Take Wal-Mart, the most famously offensive, town-destroying, junk-purveying, labor-abusing, sweatshop-supporting, American-job-killing, soul-numbing, hope-curdling retailer in the known universe, moving upward of $300 billion in cheap mass-produced slurm every year via more than 5,000 landscape-mauling eyesore stores stretching all the way from Texas to China and Argentina and South Korea and Mexico and your backyard.

After reading the first article, I once again am reminded how lucky we are to NOT have JBranch as a Mayor. Thank you SL Village voters! You've at least given us a chance.
Jeff Branch had no vision for this village. He had only 3 ideas for the downtown. 1) finish the brick sidewalks 2) improve the parking and 3) a 121,000 square foot Wal-Mart on Lake Flower. This was enough to tell me he had NO VISION FOR OUR DOWNTOWN. Under our present board we now have a chance to do it right. Thank you Mayor Michael, Trustees Waters and Fontana!
I'll second that...Mayor Michael and Trustees Waters and Fontana have taken a lot of abuse recently. They deserve to be reminded that they are doing things right, and that the majority of the people put them in office! We're with you, Mayor and Trustees! Thanks!
I found that "Ten Steps" article so interesting that I had to review it on my blog. Thanks.
Someone, you did an excellent job reviewing those 10 steps - careful, some might think you are turning into an anti-Wal-Mart website.
But then your post below that shows exactly what an uncaring asshole you really are. Excuse my language, but you say Barring a husband’s death, there are few excuses for being a single mother. [Most] other [situations are] a choice. No one makes [a woman] have and keep the child if she is not married, and, generally, a woman should be able to judge the character of a partner before spreading her legs. Is that so hard to understand?
I better not write any more comments about this thought.
Thanks for the compliment - I was making an effort to be a bit more balanced. You're right, it contrasts quite a bit with the other posts.
Does being so brutally honest about personal responsibility (or the lack thereof) really make me an asshole?
I should add that the post you are referencing is no longer. You aren't the only one who found it "overly controversial."
