Idea: turn empty, abandoned Walmarts into . . .
fundie/evangelical/neocon/defense contractor conversion facilities. Such a facility might well be needed after *'s ass is kicked to the curb. In the conversion facilities, defense fat cats will be able to learn basic job skills so they can get a job in the real world. TV evangelicals and the fundie set will be given diction, make-up and hair extension/toupee maintenance hints so they don't come off as self-righteous bumpkins, and can more easily blend back into society. And all this in a former Walmart, in an environment that will be comforting and nurturing for all of them.

4. Yeah, maybe CUBA would send them some Doctors!
We could just declare "Wal-Mart" a third-world nation,
and watch the internation aid start flowing in...
(and plant observers to TAKE NOTES on
how "taking care of people" works!)

2. more school space?
Maybe the building would be a good lesson to the kids too. Don't repaint the building, put in as few walls as you can, and make sure it looks like the carcass of a *Mart.

3. We'd have to buy them from Wal-Mart first.
At heavily overmarket valuations at that. Why do you think they're abandoned? Wal-Mart prices them too high to sell.

Now here's an argument for eminent domain.

7. function
I don't know if executions will be necessary; they do wonders with lobotomies these days. Can people be lobotomized twice, though? I don't know . . . And brainwashing does presuppose the existence of a brain . .

not possible with most of these creatures

9. Gulmart
Well, I was just proposing that abandoned Walmarts be used to re-edumicate people peacefully; you know, sort of a public service. Nonetheless, I do see the potential benefits of using these centers for punishment, as well. Sort of a gulag run by dems. That's it, 'Gulmart.' Why you'd hardly have to change anything in terms of logos and lettering. Hmm - - - who but us dems could think of a multi-site Gitmo-type re-training center that has a smiley face for a logo?

10. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
And this center, unlike Gitmo has the potential for financial self-sufficiency. why, think of the pay per view potential of Lyndie Englund (with cigarette and whip) vs the Rumster and the Bush-wad.

There are several around here that are fundy churches converting the masses to the cult.
