There is evil in the world
Yes, I'm using strong words for this post. I don't like to call people names. I like to look for the silver lining in things. I try to see the good in people. But today, I'm tired of looking and am going to throw these two items together. Maybe they don't deserve to be together. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. One thing I don't want this to sound like is that I'm using the tragedy of the VA tech murders just to make a point. Well, that's what I'm going to do. I've stopped watching the 24hour constant news "updates" on this story. I'm tired of hearing "expert opinion" that is nothing more than speculation and sensationalism to keep people tuned in. I don't need to know every possible detail of every possible witness in a 10 mile radius of the town. I'm tired of it.
I only bring it up here to to say that there is evil in the world. There are different forms of evil, some subtle some not. Sometimes it easy to look at a person, place, thing, and say "that's not right". Other times it's shades of gray. Sometimes it is difficult to see a balance of good and evil.
What is spurring this post is that I just finished watching the dvd called "Walmart: The high cost of low price". I know this will sound extreme but... Walmart as a corporation and perhaps even some of its leaders are or show signs of evil. I have only been to walmart maybe twice out of curiosity. I had heard of all the negative buzz and made a conscious decision to not shop there. After watching this movie, I will not shop there again. I won't go into all the details but simply encourage you to watch the dvd (It's worth joining netflix just for that reason).
Walmart... you have earned my "shame on you" wag of the finger.
