Walmart: Evil or no?

For me, Wal-Mart is evil and Whole Foods is not far behind.

I have read that some go miles out of their way to get a coffee at Starbucks (another capitalistic empire) but somehow can justify shopping at Wal-Mart simply because it is closer. I do not understand this type of logic.

Super stores are killing small business in the U.S. This economic crisis came about because banks were too big to fail. We can apply the same to stores one day. Let's not get to that point.

I understand the opinions of those who have close family or friends who work there, but in general, and it has been well publicized, it is a fact that Wal-Mart is basically evil.

My motto is to put my money where my moral values lie.
