Ever have those days when you feel like you've spent your mental energy on something completely meaningless? I can't believe I spent time commenting on WalMart pulling out of Germany when things like child labor in Zambia (these are the hands of a nine-year old boy crushing rocks as his job) is on the rise and also occupying space in our newspapers and commanding commentary by economic and social analysts. This is what I, and business analysts, economists, and human aid workers should focus on---not why WalMart suffered in the German market. Sigh. Shame on me.
