A wise friend once said to me, "People don't change when they see the light, but when they feel the heat."

So suddenly everyone who had no choice but to shop at a store that pays slave wages and ruins local economies, willfully putting local business owners--your friends and neighbors--out of business to save a few pennies, is now perfectly able to shop elsewhere. Hmm, that old self-interest again.

And before I get piled on to all the people screaming about how Wal Mart is the only store within 100 miles, please answer this question: How did any one in your town ever survive BEFORE Wal Mart moved in?
