This is a Joke.

I live in Fairbanks Alaska a city of 33,000 -- the people here love walmart -- because this store has greatly lowered the cost of living -- they have lowered prices on items as much as 30%.

Business is so brisk that walmart is going to covert the store to a super walmart next year.

So what is this protest 5-10 UAF students are going to push around an empty cart for an hour or so?

They had BIG WAR PROTESTS here a month or so ago -- that consisted of 5-10 protestors on the two street corners across from Ft. Wainwright They were cold and looked very drepressed as I passed by them a few times that day while running errands.

I just got off the phone with out local Fairbanks Walmart and it seems that a manager went to UAF yesterday and sat in the meeting where this was planned and -- they have been discussing what they will do in response throughout the day.
