Ron Davies, re August 29 entry, my last: I, of course meant Blue, not RED. My mistake. I still have a hard time of thinking of the Dems as anything but RED or at least bright PINK. Nonetheless, the point was that there is a general hypocracy in the Dems' anti-Captialist rhetoric, when some of the biggest capitalists in the US are Democrats. I read through some of this rope ( no longer a thread) and for the most part it has degenerated into personal attack from both direction. Not very nice. Not rational debate. Get some perspective. Wal-Mart in NOT the focal point of all that is evil. Workers can organize if they really want to. You can shop anywhere you please. Gee, if enough people agree with you that the Mighty Wal-Mart IS the embodiment you can stop them cold in their tracks. I see a nation wide boycott and chapter 11 for, wait!! NO--- why they're still in business!!! Looks like you are going to have to try harder to get the word out on them and expose them for what they really are. I'm sure that once everyone has heard, they will join you. When that eventuation takes place and I read about it in the headlines I'll peek back into this thread and acknowledge how very right you were!
