They can go organic, they can give things away for free; I still won't
be walking in their door until they unionize and don't have as a main
priority, putting small businesses out of business.

I will continue to support the small farmers, co-ops and other such
establishments and help them earn a bit of the money that they work so
hard to earn. Screw the CEO(s) of Walmart who get richer and richer.
My town has been fighting the arrival of a Walmart and the jury is
still out. It would go into an area that has 3 large grocery stores
within walking distance and the last thing we need is another freakin
grocery chain. It's repulsive. It's also one of the worst
intersections for traffic and accidents. Adding this store to the
corner will turn it into insanity land.

Why do I think of George Bush whenever I see a Walmart???????? One in
the same I guess.
