It will take much more than a lack of sales on one large shopping day to bring them down. Revolutions are never pretty and a lot of people die. That is the cost of overthrowing an oppressive governmental system or leaders. I think there is still more time needed an more exploitation to be done before this happens. --- akudiya-AT-pseud.pseud wrote: > Wal-mart is emblematic of what the world is > becoming. Homogenized.
