I understand what you are saying.

Unfortunately, by squeezing the last few pennies out of it's suppliers so that it can be cheap on some products Walmart does a lot of harm, worldwide. Maybe Cosmic will tell you about the article he read about rug producers. It was very sad. And Walmart has ruined some American businesses. I think they squished the life out of Rubbermaid, if I remember the Frontline program.

I'm not trying to criticize your decisions to shop or own Walmart. Just trying to explain my own reaction.

Suma, here is the WalMart article Ionseco was talking about. I saw it also. WalMart's business model has disturbed me since they destroyed so many small-town America businesses years ago. Now they drive entire huge companies out of business. I know I would never, ever shop there. It is exactly what is wrong with America.
