Just saw on the news that Wally world has dropped the lawsuit and is pursuing a process to change it's policy on this issue.

Cool! You got a linky?

(EDIT:) Nevermind, found something right here:http://kennmakk.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/wal-mart-caves-to-the-pressure/

Something odd, though-I went to AP's (Associated Press) website, put both 'Debbie Shank' and 'Wal-Mart' into the search bar, and couldn't find anything about this story. WTF?  :huh

It's nice to see something positive happen for that family. :) Any corporation is all about checking the block when you get up to that level... nice to see them look at the people instead of the numbers in this instance.

Yes it is. Hopefully, setting some kind of precedent.

I wonder if they will give Airmen Thornton back his job?

I'll ask again.  If that woman had repaid the money she owed, how would her life had changed?  anyone?

It's probably of greater benefit to her family, who will be caring for her, than for her.  What can put your mind at greater ease than the knowledge that you can provide for your family tomorrow, and tomorrow's tomorrow?  Not saying that any portion of the remainder of her life will be wonderful as a result of this, but it does put her family in a better position to care for her.

Steve, you do realise her family has to pay for her care?  From what I understand the money they recieved was for to pay for her care for the rest of her life.  If I'm missing anything let me know.

Naw, Mac. Lazs is a Kalifornian. You know all the fruits and nuts are on the west coast.  You can still play in our backyard. :aok
