I can't hear you...

Banning the "W" word Believe it or don't. The Yelm WA city council had banned speech about Wal-Mart in city council meetings.  Seems council members tired of hearing citizens views (one way or the other) about the possibility of a Wal-Mart being built in their town of around 5,000. The council apparently set a date for a meeting on the issue and has cut off all comment on it in council meetings—by council members or the public—until that date Whatever. They'd never get away with that sort of high handedness here in America's Third World County™.
