We use words in the English language haphazardly.
Many foreign languages are very specific in their use of words.
Is Walmart's practices always Ethical? NO!
I would venture to say that most business practices in this day and
age are not ethical. Are they Evil? I don't rate them up there.
Was Pol Pot Evil? Was Stalin Evil? Was Hitler Evil? (Do we want to
add in the Osama, Sadam, Ayatollah Khomeni, any Leader who urges genocide)
Those guys would be classified as Evil. Not the business practices
we see, they simply do not rate up there.
If I did not frequent anyone or any entity who was not ethical I
simply could not shop today!!!!
(By the way I would say both Apples and MS's practices are both
suspicious there too.)
I would not have a bank account, I would not have insurance I would
simply live in a cave!!!!
So we make choices each and every day.

I think the Rev's point was that while Walmart practices are bad and uncool,
they don't rise to the level of evil. The word itself is overused to
describe everyrthing not liked. Boy, Pol Pot was evil. Boy, Walmart is
evil. We have a couple generations of young adults and kids who will say,
yeah walmart is evil...what is a Pol Pot? They have no perspective on
evil.
