I'm curious why you guys are talking about evil.  I don't think anybody in
this discussion has called Wal-Mart evil.  I guess I'm posting this because
that language is likely to be attributed to me, since I've been critical of
the company.

<sarcasm>I was calling Wal-Mart evil around the same time I said that Dan
gets his information from Rush, that prices are set in back room deals and
compared myself to Mother Theresa.</sarcasm>

I called Wal-Mart's aggressiveness toward vendors and employees greedy.  I
didn't call the company evil.
