It is a great start in the right direction and will certainly improve Walmarts image.

You said "I think this is good." so your supportive of Wal-Marts 4 dollar price. The rest of your post is already common knowledge. I'm curious, What does early childhood Adv mean? Advocate? of so of what.

Sounds like they need to increase the Prolixin and Artane, you might want to run that past the clinic.

This is a great thing Wal-Mart is doing! Target is following suit. With a simple press release, Wal-Mart has managed to open doors for everyone in the country. This is corporate citizenship and capitalism at their best.

"HOW BOUT A LIST OF THESE DRUGS"

The news releases are claiming nearly 300 drugs will be available under this program, however, Wal-Mart is counting the various dosages of the same drug so the number is considerably less.

The Union wants you to boycott Wal-Mart until they represent the workers they need to make up for auto workers losing jobs to cheaper non-union labor. If they can unionize Wal-Mart they can Unionize other retail workers. They don't like any good news about Wal-Mart.

Give it up, the boycott isn't working, sales are still increasing. You'll have to find some other industry to unionize to make up for destroying union members jobs at the American auto companies with your relentless outrageous pension and benifit costs.

Care to explain what you are talking about? I am not getting off of the internet for anyone...unless of course there is a logical reason...someone's life is in danger.
Still the paranoid person you were a few months ago when I last saw you.

Just what now are you talking about?

Someones life is in danger?...Whos? The kids?...There in school at this time of day, and just what could you do anyways? If your that concerned, shouldn't you be at the schools casing the place to make sure no peeping toms are stalking around?

That would be alot more effective then sitting at a computer desk, don't you think?

I did,.....maybe you need to do so also, for it seems that you had no clue as to what Kens comment was about.
Where did I see you last?
When you and I exchanged words on another forum.

Again, I have apologized ... but regarding which forum we last spoke on (and not saw me)... and it wasn't on the Schiavo case? So it had to have been one with Michelle and her friends (Mrs...?)? How quaint.
Apparently, I did see you, else I would not have known who you are. Now, could I?

No, it was not on the Terry Schiavo case, and I have no idea who Michelle and her friends may be.

Is it because your on so many topics at once that you can not recall where we have met, and exchanged words?

Either way, this is a topic for Wal-Mart, I doubt that you'll find a bunch of kids on this topic needing rescuing from perverts.

So, that being the case, what do you think of Wal-Mart selling generic drugs for as little as $4.00?

Here you go intrigued...
Seeing that my belief is like yours, and I applaud you on that, it still did not answer what you think of Wal-Mart lowering the cost of these medications.

How do you think it will affect the ecomomy, the mom and pop stores? In fact, I just read an article about Walgreens, and how the news of Wal-Marts plan affected them.

Do you think it will benefit the Americans, or not?

As I said, my beliefs in illegal drugs run similiar to yours, but you side-stepped the main issue here.

Daily Horoscope for November 26

Gemini

Your eleventh house of friends and associates is activated by the Moon in Aries and it's time to go out and play with your friends. Even the Twins, who have been somewhat reclusive lately, will benefit from socializing tonight. A sense of relief will take hold when you realize that no one really has a better life than you. Sure, it might seem like someone else has a more glamorous existence, but if you could be a fly on the wall in their bedroom, you'd find they have nightmares, too!
