Unsurprisingly, "Wal-Mart Healthcare Mythology Shattered."

Looking for the perfect segue into a reminder about the forthcoming Wal-Mart movie spectacular in downtown New Albany?

flip, flop, flip, flop...
just like a 'little' fish in the dirty NA sewers.
Glad you guys are taking care of little Timmy.
We threw him back since he's too small (minded).

Have you heard the one about what Laura Oates said at the inception of her SOLNA blog, in April 30, 2005?

It goes like this:

“Note the name of this Blog. It is intended to encourage people to "Speak Out Loud". This means no hiding behind masks of anonymity. Let it be known who you are and what you have to say.”

Her success at achieving this aim can be judged by anyone who takes five minutes to look at her site, at her beloved thousands of postings, 95% of which are anonymous.

Such an obvious failure to properly administer her own house should not suggest a tendency to drop by occasionally and imitate Rover by soiling NAC's carpet, but alas, it would seem that some pundits just aren't toilet trained.

Then again, printing private e-mails to initiate a malicious slur against someone who has deserted her is not surprising coming from a psychotic corner of the blogosphere that openly encourages lawlessness in redressing purely imagined wrongs, and of course, does not accompany this sort of "activism" with a commitment to full disclosure on the part of those doing the urging.

Cowardly? Lunatic? Terribly self-serving?

Reasonable people can be the judge.

Notice how frequently Laura drops in here to pontificate?

Notice that I don't censor her?

Notice that she does not extend that most basic of American courtesies to me?

Wondering why she can't tolerate the give and take of debate?

Readers, please tell me if that particularly virulent strain of the totalitarian mindset is the the sort of mob justice you desire, coming from the half dozen dissafected office seekers (Laura Oates, Yvonne Kersey), another disgruntled former city employee (Vicky Denhart, aka, Confuse Taxpayer) and several other anonymous bombthrowers who frequent the SOLNA board, and who somehow think that they're leading a revolution that in the end will enable them to feel good about themselves.

Nah, no vested interests anywhere in that group of patriotic luminaries, but at least Laura and Yvonne have the guts to use their real names -- as Tim Deatrick has as he's made that long, difficult journey toward self-knowledge and responsibility.

To Laura and the gang -- you're the ones who make the claims to being Christian -- who freely impugn people like Tony Toran because he doesn't measure up -- and I'm just that dastardly atheist who has the nerve to feel good about himself and the world he inhabits ... tell me, what is that whole Christian thing about seeking truth, forgiveness, redemption and the like?

Something about casting stones?

I presume you would have been the ones who would have stoned Magdalene?

Or maybe you're just as secular as I am, and I'll say this: It's not about grudges, and it's not about retribution, and it's not about anger. It's about coming to grips with yourself, and with what's right. Tim deserves as much of a chance as any of us, and I'll not be the one who says he shouldn't have that chance.

Laura, the people in this town who can BUILD as opposed to the ones who can only DESTROY -- they're not quaking in their boots. There's no panic.

Rather, they're laughing at you.
