The Walmart Bumper Sticker

I saw this bumper sticker on a car the other day – Walmart – Destroying Main Street One Small Town At A Time.  There is nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said, and said much better. Silver City has a Walmart. I refuse to shop there. Others have told me the impact on this town, and I can see it for myself. That’s why Carmon and I drove to Deming, fifty miles away, to shop for a damn bathmat for me. Don’t worry, we took Carm’s Prius, and we combined several errands in one trip, including a stop at the winery. But I have to ask, again, why it costs so much more to do the right thing.
