They've chosen the NeoConfused strategy. act(?) complacently ignorant of facts or tne wishes of the people and attempt to do what you damn well please.
Each Wal-mart is best considered as another leak in the boat of American prosperity. They sell foreign made low quality junk and their employees still qualify for welfare. Wal-mart and the rest of their ilk are the cancer that is eating our country and economy. Good for the people of Virginia. The locals should be able to decide who they want for commercial neighbors.
I'd say that if WalMart shouldn't build there, then neither should any other 'modern' enterprise.
Looks like the people actually affected...the residents.... aren't in opposition.

OK, but I doubt they're ignorant. They chose that location specifically because it's near to an historic site. And the battle to keep them out will be almost as violent as what took place there more than 140 years ago.

So if nobody wants it,WM will have hard time finding employees right? I doubt it.
