RSSEvil Wal-Mart Wants To Build Where Others Already Have

This is a story about how idiots who hate Wal-Mart, that evil entity that provides low prices on goods and services so many low and middle income families need, will find any excuse in the world to stop a new Wal-Mart from being built.
LOCUST GROVE, Va. (AP) – Wal-Mart wants to build a Supercenter within a cannonshot of where Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant first fought, a proposal that has preservationists rallying to protect the key Civil War site.
A who’s who of historians including filmmaker Ken Burns and Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough sent a letter last month to H. Lee Scott, president and CEO of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), urging the company to build somewhere farther from the Wilderness Battlefield.
“The Wilderness is an indelible part of our history, its very ground hallowed by the American blood spilled there, and it cannot be moved,” said the letter from 253 scholars and others.
OMG! How could Wal-Mart be so cruel as to want to build on such an historic site! They are truly evil! But … uh … wait, there is something else you should know:
Wal-Mart and its supporters point out that the 138,000-square-foot store would be right behind a bank and a small strip mall, a full mile from entrance to the site of the 1864 clash that left thousands dead and hastened the war’s end.
Oh. Uh, you mean there is already a lot of development on the site and that the Wal-Mart will be a mile away from the historic site? Well, that certainly changes things and it certainly make you question the true motives of those that do not want the Wal-Mart built.
