A great idea.   

And it gave me another one. 

As much as I'd want all illegal aliens, and those born to illegal aliens whild in the USA, to be deported to somewhere, from what I have seen that is not to likely.

So, instead, my thought was:  They can be considered for residency if they pass the test



Shit.
 Most of the TEACHERS couldn't pass the citizenship test.
NY is looking at doing away with LITERACY requirements for teachers because so many minority applicants can't even pass that.

Walmart pricing is skewed due to their product size and packaging.  Take shit paper!  We buy twelve double roll packs  from our local market for six bucks.  WM doesn't sell that size package but an eight pack or twentyfour pack.  I can quickly check the per roll price in my head but most cannot! 

Water, the sell spring water that is a 3-1/2 quart bottle for MORE than a buck when I can buy a gallon of the same product for 89 cents!

Their pros at the falling prices bait and switch.  The price ain't falling, the volume of the product does!

The only water I "buy" is out of my tap.

We have terrible small town water.

I buy four or five gallons a week to drink, we cook with the tap water.

If you are buying water you might want to check this out.

Berkey purifiers.  Not really cheap, but might pay for themselves over their life..and filter fluoride from city tap water if that is a concern.  Come in several sizes, the one below being the largest.  Good "prepper" item since it will clean the worst water to pure.

I've looked at the Berkey and they're in my future.  Several of my MI pals use them and stand by their capabilities.

Just have to convince my bride.

I had a junior high school teacher who couldn't even speak proper English as her native language. She axed me a question. They have ghetto trash teaching in public schools and it could only have gotten worse since the '70s.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Any time someone says to me "Lemme axe you a question" I say "OK, hatchet away."  ;D

Indeed it is....at Sam's Club too.
If you don't do some math in your head you can over pay for certain items, and they bank on that. They figure most folks think it is automatically a great deal in bulk when often it is not. For example, they do it with items that might be bought together, coffee might be a good buy but you get ripped on sugar.
Walmart and Sam's are sister companies, but many times the same product is way cheaper at one or the other. People think they are getting a deal because it is Sam's when the item is way cheaper at Walmart.

You also have to be careful shopping from one walmart to another on the same items. For example, Huggies baby wipes are $12 for a case of 11 packs (72 per pack) at our large walmart store. Across town at the walmart grocery store, the same wipes come in a case of 9 packs (the same wipes at 72 per pack) for the same $12 per case.

For the record, I buy as little as possible at walmart...I hate going near the place....but the sad fact is some things you just have to buy there, because we have limited other avenues to shop in our area without driving 40-60 miles.
My dad called them a "necessary evil."
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
