While the demise of obsolete professions to make way for more efficient technology is a sad fact of life, the greed that would corner the entire retail sales market need not be.

The fact that WalMart offers substandard wages to its employees and poorer quality merchandise to its consumers does not put them into the same category as those businesses which seek to improve the quality of living and merchandise for all concerned.

The fact that "more believe it's good" is demonstrative of the ignorance that runs rampant in a short-sighted society. Those who believe WalMart is good now will not view it so well in a few years, when the quality items that Mom&Pop sold cannot be found because too many people invested in the labor of slaves.

My sincere hope is that we can educate those who are blind to the evils of WalMart and similar businesses.
