Wal-Mart destroys ancient burial grounds

Oxford, Alabama, is the site of ancient Native American burial grounds that date back at least 1,000 years. This site is still considered sacred, and a town study has found tribal artifacts in the soil there.

But it's not sacred to Wal-Mart or to its apologists who dominate local government. Few things to them are sacred except Making Money.

So Wal-Mart and the city of Oxford have already begun tearing apart the burial grounds to provide fill dirt to build a new Sam's Club. Trial advocates and preservationists are outraged.

It's being torn down for fill dirt, of all things!

City officials also want to level the hill to use as an elevated site for a fancy motel or restaurant. Mayor Leon Smith said the burial site was nothing but "just a pile of rocks."

The Scam's Flub project has also drawn the support of raw racists and others who apparently expect the descendants of the people buried there to have to buy back the burial grounds.

Sounds to me like they're already paying for it - as the city is using tax dollars to help raze the site.

A historic site is being destroyed just so there'll be another union-busting Sam's Club to buy foreign-made goods.
