#2 I noticed today that one of the Wal-Marts in the area (where I don't usually go, but sometimes do) has brought fabric back.

Friend told me the Wal-Mart near her has, too.

Good!

#3 Selling stuff that people want to buy - that's like marketing genius!

#5 Of course, if Obama & Co. have their way, we will be FORCED to buy "green" products - there will be nothing else available.

#7 Selling things people want instead of forcing upon them what some Learned Academiics have decided is best for them?

How completely CAPITALIST that is! Occupy Walmart! (and see how long that would last)

#8 One thing about Wal-Mart that makes me twitch is their morning employee group loyalty chants. Way to cultish for me to be comfortable around.
