I go to the Wal Mart in St. Anthony, Minnesota. What strikes me about the store is it looks like the United Nations. It provides and trains more people than any of the local government programs. Besides that, it cultivates and hires minorities and the disabled.

It is a successful capitalistic enterprise run by fine Christian people.

A friend of mine's mother suffered from breast cancer and finally beat it. Regardless, she was still physically weak for quite a while. The Wal-Mart she worked at was terrific about working around this, and she is grateful to them to this day. They didn't have to work with her, but it would have ruined her financially otherwise.

I've noticed that about ours, and it's commendable. Some of the, what I would call "better motivated" employees there seem to move on to Home Depot, down the street- and I seem to recall that Home Depot sent a lot of aid, as well.

Capitalism has its faults and excesses, but unlike the government, your participation with it is voluntary-- you can always choose another business if you don't like the one you are dealing with.
