Wal-Mart's retail policy: We'll carry it if we think it's moral

If any of you think that it's fine to let Wal-Mart rule on the morality of its products -- it already does that, deciding Jon Stewart, numerous recording artists, etc., just don't make the grade -- then you're part of the New Normal.

Wal-Mart nixes the morning-after pill, even though it's a federally approved prescription drug.

Wal-Mart still sells guns, though.

Let me get this straight. Contraception bad, gunplay good!

To try another comparison: Wal-Mart loves to buy from China, in spite of human rights questions. Wal-Mart do's and don't's: Do buy cheap from sweatshops, don't sell federally approved contraceptives to women!

I hadn't been shopping at Wal-Mart for over two years. Now I'm going to double-not-shop there. Please don't you either.
