hey flyin...how are you?
i don't think i am naive....and i don't mean to blame only walmart. there is plenty of blame to go around on this issue beginning with the government and big corporations.
i have worked in many different situations, in companies large and small, and for the last almost 20 years have had my own business so i have been on both sides of this. i promise you i have been more than fair with any employees i have had, with the public i have served, and have tried to operate honestly and ethically. i chose to leave corporate america because of the lack of ethics, immorality (sexual and otherwise), and heartlessness that seemed to dominate in every company where i was employed. maybe i chose my employers poorly, - but they certainly all offered wonderful benefits, pensions, perks - i still came to the conclusion that it was a cesspool and left of my own volition.
now i am a lot poorer, working for myself, but at least i have peace of mind and i am not stressed out all the time.
i certainly sympathize and empathize - and identify - with anyone struggling with $ and can totally understand why you would make the decision to shop where prices are lower.
i still think the long-term ramifications of current economic trends will be devastating, most of all to this country, which is still mostly asleep, apathetic, or unconcerned - at least for now....

the only reason i would ever shop at wal-mart is if i cannot find the product i want anywhere else at any price.
i hate the greedy tactics of wal-mart, target, k-mart, etc, et al. one may THINK that you are saving $ at these establishments, but in the long run we will pay through the nose. at some point the s--t will hit the fan in this country. how many americans do they need to put out of work before the american public wakes up?

i may have missed something since i haven't been around much... but, what were the two questions you were going to ask of the elders at the end of the film when they hastily retreated? just curious. seems you were prepared with them so they must be good.
