2. I noted BAD!
"Opponents say the stores pay too little and run competitors out of business. And Alabama this week became the latest state to identify Wal-Mart as the biggest drain on public health resources, saying Wal-Mart employees used state medical benefits at a higher rate than those from other companies."

5. BAD.
Even my nephew felt guilty walking in a WalMart the other day w/my daughter's boyfriend. I finally made enough of a case to my sister over the years (not preaching, just explaining why I've been boycotting WalMart when she would ask) that she is now boycotting it. A good friend of mine is also boycotting. Then there's my other good friend who proudly shops at WalMart, doesn't vote and is a serious carnivore to boot.
