Walmart: Evil or no?

I have never been to a walmart

it kinda scares me...

I don't know where one is near me...I think we don't have one here...
I don't cross the bridge unless I'm going to someplace wonderful and/or natureful...walmart wouldn't qualify under either of those headings...

I have been to target and can do without it...

there are lots of little places around to get plastic things, and other things which the big box stores sell...an advantage of an eclectic big city like SF, I guess...and, if ya go at the right times there might even be parking !!

I think that the premiss of a huge business taking terrible advantage of their workers, out sourcing as much manufacturing as possible, strong arming the manufactures, and being ruthless with competition has a component of evil in it...I Do Not think any of that sloughs off on the consumers...in this day and age, in Any Day and Age, the wallet is the driving factor of most regular folks...connivence is a factor, and personal choice is a factor as well...where and how and why someone shops is their business and if I have a personal or political reaction to a strangers' choice, then I can make my own economical choices to try and counter theirs...

wow...who would have known I had so much yappy shit to say about this subject??....yikes....
