Wal Mart is sooooooo evil!
http://www.suntimes.com/output/business/
Wal Mart wants to come to my town of Chicago, but Chicago is requiring that Wal Mart pay their employees a "LIVING WAGE" of $10 an hour plus $3 an hour of beneifts.
Are you freaking kidding me! Why can the goverment have a say in how much Wal Mart pays their employees? Shouldnt that be up to Wal Mart/the market? I believe the starting wage right now is somewhere around $7-8 for grunt level entry work.
But here is the thing. If an employee stays there a while they can move up the ladder prety quickly and get to that so called living wage. They just need to show that they are competent and willing to work.
One of the funnies parts of this article is this :
"Chicago Federation of Labor President Dennis Gannon accused Wal-Mart of "holding a gun" to the Council's head. Gannon said he would "not be intimidated" by a behemoth that clearly needs Chicago more than Chicago needs Wal-Mart."
This is easily contradicted by this :

P.S. - Will the Government please get out of the way so people can live the lives they choose to lead. Thanks

No Knock
http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/06/15/
The whole no knock warrent scares me a little bit. I believe this could lead to more injuries for the cops and the people in the home.
Do not get me wrong - I understand that it could be beneficial to come in unannounced.
But if I have a gun purchased legally, and people come into my house unnanounced, and I grab my gun and shoot someone - I better not be charged with murder or attempted murder.
The Corey Maye case keeps going through my mind when I read about this ruling.

It is a private school
http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/
How in the hell do the courts get involved and have a say about what students get admitted into this private school that is not taking any federal money?
A PRIVATE school should have the right to determine who they let in to their school.

Protect the Children
http://althouse.blogspot.com/2006/06
We need to protect those children. We do not want to hurt anyones feelings for crying out loud.
Give me a break. You are doing more harm than good. You are setting up these children for a real smack in the face of reality.
It is good to have competition. Not everyone is supposed to win. Not all the kids are supposed to get trophies at the end of the year.
