Just say NO to Wal-Mart
You probably saw the allfacstaff email regarding the showing of the movie about Wal-Mart ("The high cost of low prices"). I went to see it. Never again am I shopping at Wal-Mart. That movie was a real eye opener. This gigantic corporation has managed to crush everything and everyone in it's path. From employees to local businesses to local governments to workers in their sweat-shops in China. Wal-Mart has screwed them all over.
It's ironic, but a lot of people tell me that they MUST buy their goods at Wal-Mart because they can't afford to spend a few more dollars for the same thing somewhere else. I know there are a lot of people struggling to make ends meet, and this is one way they do it. And yet, by making your purchases at Wal-Mart, you support this corporate monster that feeds itself by crushing people, creating a situation where those people can't make ends meet....
Anyway, the closest I'm getting to a Wal-Mart store from now on is to stand out front with a sign saying "Danger: Keep Out"!
