The problem isn't you.
The problem is an economic system which created wal-mart
The problem is an economic/social system which does not supply needed medicines to those in need.
The problem is an economic system which can drive people into a homeless/starvation state.
Wal-mart is a poster child of this system that I do not condone, so I do not condone or financially support wal-mart. I hope that others see this and choose to do the same.
edit- in my life, I have done things that I felt "needed" to be done in order to survive. Things that people on this board could chastise me for. I certainly would not claim they were in error for faulting me, because they would not be. I did what I felt I needed to do. A bad choice is a bad choice, regardless of the reasons. I accept that I have made imperfect choices, we all do. I can only hope to try and do better in the future. But, if someone calls my spade a spade, I will try to accept it for what it is.
edit2 - Enemy. I guess I also need to define the context of "enemy." When dealing with DUers (real Duers, not trolls, Freeper invaders, or Cave dwellers) I think of enemies as the style of Tom & Jerry or Coyote & Roadrunner. They are "enemies" but there is not a real animosity between them. So, you can be my enemy but I do not hate you.
