As soon as it is set up as a mega-corp vs a local mom-and-pop shop, most US-sers stop thinking rationally and emotions start flying high, as the small business capitalism is the dearest thing to the US heart.

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.
