Wal-Mart
Dear Indigna,
Wal-Mart is trying to build a gigantic mega-superstore in my hometown. All of the small business owners in downtown know that Wal-Mart will drive them out of business and have banded together to fight the plans, so far to no avail. Do you have any suggestions?

Dear David,
I’m not a Wal-Mart shopper, but I’ve seen them played on TV. Frankly, I’m terrified to go into one of those establishments. I mean, apparently there is some kind of sprite or fairy that flies around indiscriminately changing the prices of things, which are evidently painted on rectangles of some sort of high-shatter material (glass? porcelain?) that are carelessly knocked to the floor when the “entity” wishes to lower the cost of an item. Those splintered “price tiles,” for lack of a better word, must send lethal shards of who-knows-what into the eyes of countless children and elderly patrons on a daily basis! No wonder those stores have eye exam centers right there. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t it seem clear that Wal-Mart is luring customers into their stores with the draw of “low prices,” when the real motive is to secure them as eye-care clients? Perhaps a lawsuit threatening to expose this plot will do the trick. If not, I recommend putting your affairs in order. Hell hath no fury like a pissed-off Wal-Mart.
