I shop at Wal-Mart and I dislike the China thing. So what else can I buy? All the old stores locked up about the time I got off work, wasn't open on Sundays.
I ripped on a True Value employee when they did not have a product I needed. I said I will run out to Walley Mart. He said Wal-Mart is a naughty word around here. My coment was -hey it's a week before x-mas on a Sat eve--5PM and you are giving me dirty looks because it is time to lock up---I will not set up a appointment to come to any store. Your boss is a very wealthy man who got this store from his parents--only child ordeal.
Wal-Mart is a sucess because of managment--giving us folks what we want, and 24/7. The old town stores controled the town concils because they spent time in the country clubs together with the concil men. Most town concils were made up of small town business men. They were the very wealth for the most part, and controled all the shots. Competition was screwed with getting permits, water sewer, and numerous other items that they had complaints about--never any names could be mentioned--hummmmm? Competition many times just gave up, and the old town stores just kept the good ol boy business profitable. Ever notice Wal-Mart stores, farm fleet stores, and Menards are often just outside the city limits when they first come to town?
As far as this crap about a shortage of farm land--check out Clayton County Iowa and add up the CRP acres. Most were terraced by tax dollars at a 70% rate. Not pro rated if they sold the farm the next day, yet the value was increased a whole bunch. Then to top it off it was often put in the ten year so young farmers had to compete in land rent with the government.
As far as I'm concerened like I have stated before, we are paying for the CRP land rent if you will. Why not pay a fair price to crop this as corn land and then turned into fuel for our military, State, Federal and city vehickles.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
