Thanks Fred; I could not have said it better myself. In my ramblings I may have been slightly crude but you summed the situation up nicely. Akhilesh exhibits the real issue I tried to illuminate; the fact that people are oblivious to the ramifications of Wal-Marts effect on society. One of the points you make I would elaborate on is the lop-sided legal structure that enables them to operate in this fashion without consequences. If there were a Union inplace they would have to play by the rules to a greater extant; which is why they abandoned doing business in Canada.
I know unions are not a panacea; but in this case they are a necessity.
