I have "re-thought" it
believe me DU is not short on handing out "guilt" cards for stepping into Wally World. But DU doesn't pay my bills, DU doesn't have a bed ridden wife on oxygen 24/7, or a son with Muscular Dystrophy. DU doesn't need to save $150 a month on Insulin by buying it at Wally World.
So if the troubles of my family cause me to shop at Wal-Mart so I have enough money for both food and medicine, and that makes me your enemy, then it's you who has the problem my friend, not me.
