Everytime I read or hear anything about this incrediably tragic death I hear Bush telling us to "Go shopping" after 9/11. As far as I am concerned the difference between the high flying CEOs standing in the bailout line is a whole lot closer to the Walmart shoppers than the people standing in the breadline.
I don't think any one will ever be able to explain to me what THING was in that store that people were willing to injure and kill someone for?
