A Wolf Is A Wolf

No matter how you dress it up.

Sigh. Despite my little ray of hope, Wal-Mart is still all about the bottom line. Wooing eco-friendly people who generally avoid because of their horrible environmental record is worth spending money on. Taking care of employees, especially those nearing tenure (what the old school used to call "loyal"), not so much. They just eat up too much profit.

And it's awfully ironic that they complain about the obesity of their employees while selling nothing but trans-fat laden plastic food and often house a McDonald's. Hel-LO!

So I guess I got a little too encouraged. Only fixing the environmental aspect of Wal-Mart's rein of terror is akin to throwing a teaspoon of water on a 5-alarm fire. Really it was nice start, but they have a long, long way to go.

Hope you weren't all dressed up and waiting for that apocalypse...
