he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

Please name me one source that shows someone was required to work at Wal-Mart.
Hey, how about naming me one source that shows Wal-mart forces people to shop at Wal-Mart stores?
Hell, I hate Wal-mart and very rarely ever shop there. And if the sex dicrimination is true it is ridiculous and should be dealt with.
If you can get people to stop shopping at wal-mart and people to stop working at wal-mart, good for you, but I don;t think it matters in reality...a place where far too many of us refuse to live.hippiemom = goodness0 -
sounds like a boy-cott thread.all insanity:
a derivitive of nature.
nature is god
god is love

To the first 2 statements: Point to me where someone claimed there was such a source.
So it wouldn't matter to the smaller businesses in these towns that Walmart drives into the ground if more people decided to stop shopping at Walmart and brought their business back to them?If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Hillarious...why is everyone down on wal-mart here??? I dont see anything wrong with wal-mart and my opinion derives from walking into the local store and watching all the wal-mart employees picking their asses and texting on their atari cell phones...isn't there a better cause we can focus on?"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity but they've always worked for me."

Wow...who'd a thunk you'd answer my questions to Kabong?Aw, I'm just kidding...a little buzzed.
There isn't a source. Wal-mart exists because people are want them to be around. It's a losing battle is all I'm saying...waste of time.hippiemom = goodness0 -
wal-mart takes a lot of heat...I was curious...what do social activists think about Target?
personally, I can't handle Wal-mart's clientele. the store is cheaper, but I'd rather pay the extra dough to shop with people who are of the same species as me.And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things

yeah, yeah....:D
perhaps if more people become aware of walmart's policies then less people would want them around...just a thought. if a person found out their significant other was cheating then they might decide to give them the boot. I guess i'm not as apathetic as you are.If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Good for you...don't shop there...keep posting on a band's website to not shop there...do what ever you want, no harm in trying, except that you will be wasting your time.
Wanna bet whether or not you can bring down Wal-mart? I gotz me some cash kiddo.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Target runs cool hip advertising. Plus they have that dog with the red patch around his eye. WalMart has that stupid smiley ball lowering prices as he gets wage concessions from China. I'm going with the kickass dog. Target wins. Yay !!!0 -

Then I'm headed to Africa to get me some Jolie.
Good luck, I have no love for Wal-mart, but I seriously doubt anyone's ability to stop that beast.hippiemom = goodness0 -
