Except that that doesn't apply to me at all. I don't really get misty-eyed about all the mom & pops that Wal-Mart destroys. I care what they do to workers and the environment, but I'm not sentimental about petty capitalists. What I hate is flattening houses and neighborhoods to make way for big boxes. It's, you know, wrong, even if it's only Nathan's "rightwing" that agrees.
