Official says 'people living like cavemen' after Hurricane Rita....
Edited on Wed Sep-28-05 12:25 PM by Missy M
was the headline on Netscape homepage. Right under that headline was a story about 30 billionaires in the US and it showed the opulent homes they live in. It brought home the disparity between the 'haves way too much' and the 'have not's'. There had to be at least five WALTON's in the top ten. They sell to the 'have not's' and live like kings and queens.

1. Well the Waltons have come a long way. . .
But there are reports taht Walmart was actually doing a better job of responding to the hurricane than our federal government.
