I guess my problem here is wal-mart is just not being morally responsible. SHould a law force them to be "more" morally responsible, no, economic forces should. But whats the ecnomic force of greed? I think in instances like this the ones making those investing decision factoring in social and moral responsability are too far removed from these types of issues are not wieghted nearly as much as they should be.
