Jack, with all due respect, most corporate retailers are not the same, at least not yet. Walmart has, by virtue of their size, completely taken the morality out of retailing. Not only that, but they are forcing other companies to do the same or perish. I do not have the space or time to detail it here, but there is plenty of documentation out there. I have done battle with this company many times over the last 15 years. The more I find out, the more determined I become. The world has never seen such a threat in the business world. This company, singlehandedly, has been responsible for widening the gap between the have's and the have not's in an unprecedented manner. You may attribute, in a very large way, the current crisis in health care coverage to this company. The long strike in Southern California, as well as several others, are directly attributable to these companies trying to compete with these cut throat bastards.
All the best,

Mick
