No one asked for specifics about why I hate Wal*Mart, but I've been thinking about it anyway.

Then this was in today's paper.

I see W*M as the big bully that plays on the fears and insecurities of the average Joe to get what it wants. Kind of like the Republican party, if I may be so leftist (and another article in the paper quoted an aid to our Republican governor as dismissively calling MoveOn.org 'hard left and anti-Bush' as if those are the most heinous things one can be).

The most telling quote:

"[Wal-Mart spokeswoman Daphne Davis] Moore stressed that Wal-Mart has never backed off a site solely because of neighborhood opposition."

Nice.

For me to peruse later... some random guy also hates W*M. I seem to remember there used to be a walmartsucks.com website, but I heard W*M sued the guy and had it removed. :P

I have discovered a new extra-sensory talent I possess.

I have Band Director Detection sense. This guy called the hotline, and said he was a teacher. I thought 'he sounds like a band director' and he was one! 8o

You're all impressed, admit it!
