TomC - you are right on the money! I always hear people down-talk the big stores, i.e. Wal-Mart, etc. This is the FREE MARKET SYSTEM in full swing! Thank GOD we are allowed such choices! I find it humorous when people say: "I'm never shopping at Wal-Mart...they drive the small guy out.." Here's a thought: EVERYONE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY HAS THE SAME OPPORTUNITY THAT SAM WALTON HAD! I know I'll hear that everyone doesn't have the same opportunities, but that is just an excuse! Dave Thomas (founder of Wendy's) was an orphan, as was Tom Monagham, the founder of Domino's Pizza. OPPORTUNITY IS ALL AROUND US! Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds, sold drink mixers. He was astonished that one restaurant bought 8. When he went to see this restaurant in person, he had the vision we now see world-wide. FREE ENTERPRISE/Capitalism is driven from choice!! RIGHT ON TOMC!!
