[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 847653, member: 2189"] And you forgot your theme music too so the good guy I am, I'm happy to supply it! [video=youtube;QzntZLHcYy0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzntZLHcYy0[/video] BTW: I'm not a Walmart shopper either just on the principle of Eminent Domain abuse (not that Walmart is alone) but also a smart shopper can find most of the same products carried by Walmart at other businesses with just as low prices and in many cases lower. And I'm not opposed to many of the ideas or problems expressed in the documentary film Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price (yes I've seen the film) but to ignore the "gun in the room" making a lot of this possible is the point Alex is making in his piece. I make a market choice when I enter the marketplace for my own reasons but it's not a crusade against Walmart. I'm also under no illusion that other market actors with whom I trade, if given themselves Walmart's access and advantage wouldn't do the same either and thus I'd do what I could in my own choices to treat them accordingly. Ironic Walmart stepped into global status when a certain "First Black President" from Arkansas got elected and many of his supporters stated his sole purpose was to protect us from monsters like Walmart. Ah the fictions of politics! [/QUOTE]
