58. I understand everything you've said.
And I still reply: Doctors, not Wal Mart.

You're making the same kinds of trivial comparison you accused me of. No one REQUIRES Wal Mart to sell ANY pajamas. All the government says is that if you're going to sell pajamas, they must not be prone to bursting into flames and harming children. Wal Mart is not REQUIRED to sell food, but if they do, they must adhere to the same laws as other food retailers.

You are advocating something entirely different...REQUIRING Wal Mart to sell a certain product, not simply requiring Wal Mart to make sure that product is safe.

I knew you'd try to hit me on the rape issue. It's an easy target. Easy to try and make me out to be the villain. I'm just amazed that ANYONE would advocate making Wal Mart, of all places, the "first responder" in a rape case. Maybe you should require Wal Mart to have a full-time doctor on Aisle 3, in Health & Beauty?

Oh, and btw...about your car. Good for you. But still you missed it. The government may well REQUIRE certain mileage out of certain cars. But do you advocate that the government require your local Toyota dealer to sell ONLY Priuses? Is that what you're saying?
