My argument is not against capitalism, it's all about huge monopolies like W-M

It should be clear to you by now that you should stop talking about this: more you speak more silly you look.

Wal-Mart is not and cannot be a monopoly. If at all it may become a monopsony.

Buy yourself a book and make sure it does not have pictures.

Can't you understand that? The question is not what I understand but what you do.

Err, I have many books and they all define a monopoly as "the possession or control of a trade or service." Does that make W-M a monopoly. If they aren't one now, they will be soon as they continue to build super stores everywhere. They are now the largest corporation in the world and the largest by far in the US. Their intent is to put all competitors out of business however they can. They have been very successful using this strategy in many cities in the US. As they eventually eliminate all major competitors, are they then a monopoly in your books? What, pray tell, is your definition of a monopoly and how is W-M not one or soon to become one?

By the way, your childish insults are contrary to FR policy, or do you know the policy re personal attacks?
