[Leica] OT ! a naked walmart

[cmbrow at wm.edu (Chandos Michael Brown)]

Sonny,

Keep in mind that I don't live in Wmsbg.  I live across the York River
in Gloucester, which is an altogether different place: rural, often
hardscrabble, and increasingly a bedroom community to Hampton Roads,
with the concomitant rising of real estate prices and displacement of
low wage earners.

If it comforts you to believe that W&M students don't have to work to go
to college or that they dine off silver spoons, then I won?t attempt to
disabuse you of your ignorance.

Cheers!

Chandos

That's sorta the problem, Sonny; "We're" just doing fine with Walmart.
It's the folks who work there who aren't

OK, doing ok and doing fine are two different measures, and your neck of
the 
woods is different from mine.  

Remember, I have walked in  tidewater shoes. You have not walked in
rural 
Louisiana.  Northwestern State University is not comparable to William
and Mary 
in almost any way.  I don't want to match stats with you, but I'd wager
that a 
much higher percentage of our students are getting their degrees with
part 
time work than there. Very few silver spoons here.

Regards, 
Sonny
