FYI: Why Wal-Mart Sucks...

Wal-mart, you suck. I refuse to shop at your stores and I encourage everyone to shop elsewhere. And I am not alone in thinking that. Please join WakeUpWalMart and see for yourself the kind of discrimination, and harassment their employees and suppliers has to put up with and what YOU can do to stop this.
