By listing some of Wal-Mart's ever-multiplying faults, you have at least performed two valuable services: reminding those of us with a conscience why we never shop there and reminding your non-American readers that America's growing discontent with Wal-Mart indicates that they are not quite the ravenous consumer zombies of popular belief.
Maybe the only way Newtown never leaves our conscience and fades away like Aurora or Columbine is if we have to look at the results of the tragedy to ensure that this moment leads to a transformational movement.
