    Lisa Orlando's post is right on the money. Don't agonize, organize! 

    In Taos, New Mexico, there were a little over 400 independent small
    businesses when WalMart moved in several years ago. Today, roughly
    half that number remain. If you can't oppose (and boycott) the big
    boxes for altruistic reasons, do it out of informed self-interest-
    it will likely be your neck on the chopping block, if not today,
    maybe tomorrow. If they don't put you out of business directly, they
    will at least lower the standard of living in your community enough
    that fewer customers can afford your work. This is not
    anti-capitalism. WalMart is to capitalism as cannibalism is to
    cuisine.
