OR..... just don't shop at Wal-Mart at all, and let the free market decide.

I know. Freedom of choice. Cant' let such a thing as that affect our lives, now can we ?

Hello Citizen,

This reminds me of the recent lamentable resurgance of IRA violence. My prayers are with your countrymen who were affected by these attacks, and my sincere hopes that your country can return to a state of peace. I generally enjoy thinking of the UK as 'our gentle neighbor across the pond,' and a place I'd very much like to visit one day.

Every time White males don't get their way they always start talking about starting, or joining militia's. How typical.

Simply put, the US is only the land of opportunity if you compare it to Sub-Saharan Africa. Maybe that's why so many people want to join militias? Or maybe the reason so few manage to improve their station in life in the US is because they're too busy riding around in pickup trucks pretending to be Rambo? Or maybe people in the US are just not very entrepreneurial or bright? Or maybe it's this free market, set up and designed to prevent new businesses from taking market share from the guys already there?

It's humorous that you continue to paint such a distorted view of me, I'm starting to think the basis of this is your own life, and you're just too ashamed to admit it. Instead, you project your faults onto others, as a means of dealing w/ your insecurities.

What that particular list of countries? Just curious as I'm from Germany and don't often find it compared in this way.

Why would so many continue to come here if there was no hope of improving their lives ? Unless it's a fact that being "poor" here in the US still has a better standard of living than the middle class of Western Europe.

And I'm in no way " failing about " or trying to enact any sort of a defense. You're simply wrong, and I'm curious as to why it is important for you to develop this imaginary construct you seem to have made for me. That'd you'd spend so much time even thinking of these sorts of things at all is fascinating. And funny.

Thus the picture that emerges is that Northern Europe and Canada are
particularly mobile and that Britain and the US have the lowest intergenerational
mobility across the European and North American countries studied here. The USA is
seen by some as a place with particularly high social mobility. In part this is a
consequence of using measures of class to estimate mobility (these will be affected by
changes in the class structure over time). However, the idea of the US as ‘the land of
opportunity’ persists; and clearly seems misplaced.

A militia???? To do WHAT, exactly?

Defend us from an invasion of pissed-off Iraqis?

Shoot down black (or sky-blue, your choice) helicopters?

Run Walmart out of town?

I have a grudge against rabbits and the govt isn't doing anything about it. All this focus on terror, taxes, the economy, the enviroment, and bonusgate...and not one dime to the rabbit problem.

Perhaps some sort of militia or group is whats needed.

So the 1st Brigade (Rabbit Slayers) of the Ohio National Rabbit Resistance Front is open for business.

If you've got a semi-automatic high powered rifle and a love to kill varmints...we want you.

And for the ladies...the Ohio National Rabbit Resistance Ladies Auxilary will be having their annual Breast Cancer Awareness Dinner and Silent Auction next Wednesday.
