There is one major problem with this.. like many people you're focusing on the wrong issue. Why is Wal-Mart bad? Well the real answer is this.
CAPITALISM. Yes, that's right CAPITALISM. Now if you don't know what that is you should look it up.
American Culture is brought up around the great idea of Democracy and Capitalism. As children were immersed in these two key principles of our culture. In fact, it's Americas policy to install Democratic/Capitalistic governments where ever we can.
Capitalism also produces what people want, not what we need. So for example there is a demand for lets say GASOLINE. Ah.. yes gasoline. Why would anyone dream of alternative energy? There is no demand for it, some say there is, but if that was true it would be produced to make a profit. But.. there is very little profit in it, so it's not produced.
If you really want to change America.. the world. Boycott Capitalism. In truth boycott all forms of economic systems that are primitive.. pyramid based structures that can only take humans so far. I guarantee you advanced civilizations millions of years beyond human capabilities do not function under economic principles.
Because the human mind is so weak we can't see past this necessary structure we impose on everybodies life so a few people can control and the rest do all the work. This is not about equality. This is about efficiency and advancement. Right now humans are stuck in the mud because of capitalism and to really reach for the stars we need to move past these primitive economic systems. They are nothing more than prisons that restrict human advancement.
MY MESSAGE IS CLEAR, and I am very serious about this. If you want to change something fix the source, not it's products. Wal-mart is just the product of the source. It's just an individual cell of a bigger problem.
