[firecat]

"If i was a devil's advocate, I'd say, nobody made you do those things, no one told you to do those things. Well if that's true then why have I worked with all these people all these years and they all think like me, and feel like me, and feel the same pressures, and are doing the same things?"

I'm quoting it not specifically because of the Wal-Mart reference but because of its applicability to so many kinds of pressure.
