In my opinion, choosing low prices is not is an anti-social choice. Others aren't sure:
So I shop at Super Wal-Mart. My cereal of choice is only $3.68 at the behemoth whereas at other grocery markets, one box is pushing $5.00. Damn their low prices! And they even wrap the meat with the seal around the styrofoam instead of the cling wrap method that most meat departments use where you actually have to touch the meat to get it out of the packaging.You may damn WM's prices, but I will not damn you. Shop at Wal-Mart all you want now, because someday a Robert Reich follower will ride to your rescue with laws and regulations!I hate Wal-Mart. There’s nothing super about it. Only idiots shop there

"The problem is, the choices we make in the market don't fully reflect our values as workers or as citizens. I didn't want our community bookstore in Cambridge, Mass., to close (as it did last fall)
yet I still bought lots of books from Amazon.com."Robert you did not value your local bookstore as much as Amazon. Likewise lots of other people also did not value the local bookstore and it went out of business. Your values are revealed by your actions not by how you feel on any given day.
Please don't post anymore items from Reich they ruin my day :)
