That's good. Portray Wal-Mart as a victim.

The following letter to the editor appeared in the monthly magazine of the National Education Association a year or so ago. Pretty much sums up what I think of Wal-Mart.

********************************************************
Headline: Walmart "F"

Bravo! I didn't read your article on Walmart, but if you gave them an "F," my opinion of the NEA just went up.

Apparently, Mr. Arakaki (Letters, September) thinks laying off hundreds of meatcutters nationwide because one Walmart meatcutting operation voted to unionize shows the "competitive spirit of America."

Or perhaps he means the fact that Walmart turned dozens of small towns into ghost towns by driving all the small businesses into bankruptcy and then closing their stores once they were deemed unprofitable.

Another shining example of "competitive spirit" was in the 60 Minutes show when Walmart's CEO thought there was nothing wrong with Kathy Lee Gifford clothes being manufactured in sweatshops by 8-year-olds.

How can any teacher condone this? Let's get Walmart out of our investment portfolios!
