Well, Walmart management did lock people in their stores and force
them to work without pay. (I'm not making this up, unfortunately;
it's well substantiated in court cases.) This is far short of
killing fields, but it isn't cool.

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,
