Leftists do care. They care about the minorities who serve them a double mocha latte at their favorite fair trade coffee shop. I see the joy in the professors' eyes when their slave (er, I mean server) hands them a cup of joe.
What stereotypes are we slinging around here? I grind my own fair-trade, shade grown coffee, thanks. And cut my own lawn. With a manual mower. In the summer. So deal.
But back to WalMart, if you step away from the hype, the place really is a money funnel taking money out of local communities and sending it elsewhere. And the prices are low, but the products are often crap, so where's the value? (And this goes for Target and the rest, too. Just because the store is cleaner and they classed up the merch doesn't mean it's not a total money suck.)
Not giving a rip about where the stuff we buy comes from is at least part of the reason why a whole bunch of folks in the US are running out of money...
As much as it pains me and goes against my grain. Its time for Americans to go on a no crap from China diet. Lets make it our agenda to pound the Chinese economy by scaling back hard on all crap we don't need.
There's probably 10-15 message board members that post the daily gloom and doom. Negativity arouses them.
I agree. I think they're nut-jobs, honestly. Seriously, some of these people are posting anti-Obama rants nearly every hour. Something's not right with them.

Then there are the outraged gay posters,always posting the latest drama to happen to some gay person....

again, i ask:
don't they sell american goods at walmart?
don't they employ americans?
can't you choose which goods to buy?
maybe the fault isn't walmart, but americans learning to be more selective about WHICH products they buy.
i do strongly agree that americans should buy locally whenever and wherever they can!
