Ed, I got a laugh reading about Wal-Mart and the gangs, Jack Ball and Greg Polliti. Ignorance is bliss, and they’re the happiest people on the block. Actually, the area’s gangs need a Wal-Mart for supplies — nail guns, duct tape and zip ties to tie people up, spray cans, all that good stuff. Thanks for the snicker.

Oh, just what we need, another cynical commentator concerning the gang slugs. Look, mister, cynicism is my territory — back off!
