Those of you that have pointed out Wal Mart's legal rights to sell whatever they please are completely correct. As a public corporation Wal Mart has that right, just as the neo-nazis have the right to preach their hateful views. Both groups are exercising their constitutionally granted rights, but that doesn't mean society is benifiting from it. L.D.'s original point that Wal Mart is censoring the public is very valid. Becuase it is such a huge venue artists (especially) are forced to cater their albums toward Wal Mart's standards or risk not being sold in the store that more than half the US population shops at.
