I don't see how the federal anti-trust laws would apply to Wal-Mart. The individual states and local communities are the real battlegrounds. To date, Chicago has successfully kept Wal-Mart out of the city, though stores continue to pop up in the suburbs. I think that Wal-Mart will evolve into a better corporate citizen over time. In the last couple of years they have been taking a few tentative steps in that direction. Unfortunately, nothing happens overnight. Where are the unions when you need them?

Bushies like monopolies: Exxon-Mobil-Chevron, Walmart, Halliburton, on down the line. All a bunch of corporate cabals. Like the biug Pharmas and HMO's too, all in collusion. Just like Enron was with other energy companies when it ripped off the west coast in 2000-2001 for 30 billion. They let their corporate mega-pal monopolies make the rules and rip off the consumers, taxpayers and environment. They claim that's "free enterprise" but it's only freedom to steal.
