That is my whole point, Walmart must be doing something good as you have pointed out. I think the documentary maker could have created a better impact and created a better incentive for Walmart to change its bad practices by producing a more balanced view. Thanks April.

Here's a quote: "Most families [in Juchitan, Mexico] live on less than $4,000 a year. Little wonder that this provincial corner of Oaxaca, historically famous for keeping outsiders at bay, welcomed the arrival of Wal-Mart." And another: "Like Wal-Mart fans in less affluent parts of America, most shoppers in developing countries are much more concerned about the cost of medicine and microwaves than the cultural incursions of a multinational corporation." Just a thought. April Holladay Regarding Wal-Mart bashing, the Wall Street Journal ran a front page story today on Wal-Mart’s recent successes in Mexico.
