3. The tragedy is, what can you do?
Do you expect people to shop at the stores with the lowest prices? That's like asking them to pay higher taxes.

This issue would require someone to explain the whole thing to the American people in words of less than two syllables, and in a convincing manner. And with regards to our Presidential candidates (for whom explaining it would cost them any chances at election) there's nobody willing or able to do the job.

5. I sent it to my boss..
and he saw the article in the airport a month ago when he was leaving for Italy.

The good thing is, Repukes have nothing to say good in return to what Wal Mart does. I.E. Lou Dobbs on this for some time.

-- I've joined your boycott of Wal-Mart. There are corporations that don't deserve the public's support. Wal-Mart's one of them.
