I don't think GW has done EVERYTHING wrong, but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck BURN THEM AT THE STAKE.

Besides, GW is a corporation and part of their goal as one is to take over their specific facet of the economy and never let it go. The fact that you don't see every FLGS store being closed down is because they know that the FLGS play a vital role in getting new customers. If they could find a way to own the entire war-gaming hobby they would, so to call this a witch-hunt is a bit strong. A corporations main goal (and possibly only goal in the long-run) is to make money and to please their stockholders. Everything that goes on beneath the head is extremely irrelevant to the FINAL "bottom line". I would actually like to talk to any CEO's at some point about how they feel when they make changes that make them money but end up ruining lives.

If I drive my car to a jobsite and do a days work, I can't personally make any of these types of decisions. There needs to be higher standards for the morals that corporations abide by; and these should actually be laws set by the country they do business in. The fact that corporations get ANY sympathy is beyond my comprehension, they are an entity DESIGNED to control the economy through tyrannical means; just look into the history of corporations and how they emerged through guilds established by royalty, and all of this was to make sure the trades and craftsmen couldn't put the royalty out of power (face-palms self in defeat).

"Note"
I think establishing public markets (#$%@ MALLS GODAMMIT) for independent businesses only would be a fantastic way to boost the economy, and the fact is America is one of the only countries where this is not a regular thing... could that be why so many professional artisans don't work in America?
