I brought up WalMart. They suck absolutely and I refuse to shop there. I shop locally owned businesses whenever I can and look for products from the first world because I know that at least for the most part slave and child labour isn't used, and I support keeping manufacturing jobs and talent in the first world. On the other hand, I worry over what to do about feeding the third world... tough question what is the second world cos if it's better I'd like to go there! ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 18:08:32 -0500 From: RossNTeka@aol.com Subject: Re: seven-seas Mormon Country This is the Bunny World, Amy!
