Warren Bluhm refuses to print, acts only semi-sane.

SO, for the past month I have been TRYING to get a letter to the editor printed - a response to a pro-walfart letter written by a VERY clueless old woman. Warren Bluhm has from the start stonewalled me, claiming I do not exist. Finally, I scanned in the front of a package with my name and address on it - shipped in august 2005 as further evidence that I DO in fact exist.

I will expect to see this letter in the Advocate by March 24th at the
latest.

This is in response to Mrs. Julius Vertz and her letter on walmart.

This great nation was founded on freedom. to state there is no way to win
so why try makes it sound as if you are NOT an American.

It is true - walmart WOULD lower prices, but do you know how they do it?

They do it by dictating to those farmers and manufacterers the price they will buy products for. What that means is each year, walmart expects those suppliers to sell at a lower price than the year before, which winds up pushing them to export all production overseas, costing american's their jobs.

Soon, despite moving production overseas, the prices walmart demands are so low that those American companies wind up going totally out of business.

Walmart does not care about us. They do not care how many people they hurt, or what laws they break (and they have broken A LOT of them, and been busted for it) or how many water supplies they poison. They only care about getting gullible people into their stores to buy cheap junk that the overseas labor winds up cutting corners on just to break even.

Saying you want a supercenter up here is like screaming out loud "I love
satan". Is that what you want people to see in you - someone who wants cheap junk and will sell not only their soul but everyone else's to get it?

By the way, like you I'm not rich - far from it. But I REFUSE to accept
help from such a disonest and greedy company.
AND THAT'S THE WAY IT
IS.

His response is both puzzling AND bordering upon offensive.

Give it up, Reid. You may think I'm stupid, but I'm not a complete
idiot.

Obviously this "Reid" is someone he knows - but WHY he would think that I am "Reid" is beyond comprehension.
HOWEVER, Mr. Bluhm IS getting up there in years, and DOES work for another walmart-like company (Gannett)......
Maybe the pair of factors has, as the saying goes, "driven him around the bend".
