Well Sir, no offense meant but you do sound like a very confused individual. To start with, WalMart is not a hardware store and carries very little hardware compared to any Mom&Pop hardware store. Any small time Mom and Pop store is going to be put out of business if they do not keep up with the times and progress. Progress is what leaves them behind, not Walmart. I know I live in the land of luxury here in Pensacola where we have Home Depot, Lowes, and a large number of Mom&Pop stores that still compete with Walmart because they did not just sit on their duff and watch the world go buy.

I don't know what 9-11 had to do with China, but you are right about one thing. They have been watching us. They are watching how we grow as a country and are implementing some of the great technological advances we use. One of the main reasons the price of concrete and gasolene has gone up so much recently is because of China's growth. This is good for the oppressed chinese people. They are still a communist regime but yes they are learning from watching us. It has no bearing in Iraq or Afghanistan. As far as the Chinese building an Armed Force greater than ours, You sir, honestly do not have a clue about what you are talking about. I spent 21 years in the greatest Military in the world and there is NO OTHER COUNTRY that can compare with out military. Maybe instead of me taking down National Ensign, you should put one up. You are the type of person that tries to stand in the way of any type of progress unless it directly benefits you.

I grew up in Sylacauga until I joined the military and retired here in Pensacola because that is where work was. When I retire from my second career I plan on building my dream home there on Lay Lake and I hope by then there is a bridge connecting Talladega and Shelby Counties. I was fortunate enough to have a father that taught me how to fish on Lay Lake and the old Cedar Creek before the back up. I may be a little slow, but I don't understand how property values can possibly go down in Shelby County if a bridge is built. Have a nice day.
