"THE government"?

Robert — 5/26/2006 6:16:28 PM (archived)

You're losing it, Tom. We're not talking about the Federal government, which as yet retains barely enough power to challenge a behemoth like WalMart. We're talking about a small bedroom community of 24,000 people. How do you keep from laughing while you try to portray that as THE big bad government persecuting an innocent little retailer? In this little David and Goliath epic, don't let the name "Hercules" fool you--WalMart is Goliath. Anything else is laughable delusion.
