Well, Here it is, the big-fat-down-and-dirty moral truth as applied by
RedDeath/FaxMeBeer/Poor Boy:

First of all, who was ripped of? Home Depot? Home Depot will not open
a store in a town in which they don't get tax abatement, which, as far
as I'm concerned is sanctioned thievery. In otherwords, the gentleman
that got over, was only recouping some of his investment in that store.
Maybe this sounds rediculous or petty to you -- or a call for all out
anarchy at all companies which receive tax abatement. Well, it may be
petty, and I may not be against anarchy at companies which receive tax
abatement.

There is also the issue of where many, many of the products that Home
Depot carries are produced. They buy a great deal of their products
from China, a nation which not only uses slave labor, without regard
for worker's rights or safety -- but a nation which has also threatened
twice in the last 7 years to Nuke various American Cities. To me, the
simple act of profiting on the misery of others is morally deplorable,
and to me, there is no moral obligation to deal straight with a company
that is inherently corrupt, morally.

Does that mean that we can now all find morally dispicable things that
multi-nationals do, and use that as an excuse to rip them off?
Wouldn't matter to me. As far as I'm concerned, small acts of larceny
are the only power that individuals have against large concerns such as
Home Depot.

However, if you steal from a multi-national company without being aware
of its dispicable acts, then you are just a thief, and aren't any
better than they are.
