< http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn....83.html >QUOTE Brenda Speaks, a Ward 4 ANC commissioner, actually urged blocking construction of the planned store in her ward at Georgia and Missouri avenues NW partly because of that risk. Addressing a small, anti-Wal-Mart rally at City Hall on Monday, Speaks said young people would get criminal records when they couldn't resist the temptation to steal. Can you imagine if somebody who was NOT a resident of the area made this objection? "You can't put a WalMart there; Those People won't be able to resist the temptation to steal!"

I can think of at least three somewhat crazy things she could have said that would have gone over better than that comment.How about "people who don't know shit about produce will make bad decisions" |
