Actually there are lots of folks who care about this issue. Some of them are just too busy taking action on other web sites to see what's up here. Thanks to the mudcatters who do care.

I certainly know lots of really poor folks who shop at Wal-Mart because they don't feel they have a choice.

My guess is that those aren't the folks who are rallying in support of Wal-Mart here-- Too bad, because if you have the bucks to support an alternative, you'd REALLY be supporting capitalism (ie, healthy competition in the market place). As it is you will find yourselves, down the road, without alternatives, and paying top dollar, because that's what Wal-Mart aims to do-- drive everyone else out so that it has sole propriatorship in the marketplace! And all because you are too cheap to look at the real cost of what you're doing...
