It may be censorship. But then so be it. The point is, "it's free enterprise". As a privately owned business, Wal-Mart has the right to sell (or not sell) whatever it pleases.

A company that big doesn't becomes so successful without a reason; tons of people chose Wal-Mart instead because they liked it more than mom-and-pop stores. I don't agree with censorship but if I have a company I'll manage my affairs however I see fit.

Actually Wal-Mart is a public company, but anyway.....These are valid points, but you also have to consider whether the actions and effects that Wal-Mart has on our society are harmful or beneficial. If Wal-Mart is more harmful than good, then the fact that it is successful or that it has the right to do whatever it has done is irrelevant, and action should be taken to ensure that no further harm is done. I am being purposfully vague because beyond this I have little to add.
