I'll agree that it's NEVER good to have more people out of work. But, everything you mentioned that's a result of a huge chain like Blockbuster closing down, happens to the "little guy" as a result of them moving in.

I could care less if a big corporation goes out of business because it will help the mom and pop shops, if even only a little.

It's the jobs/businesses that are lost because of corporations, that should be the real concern. But, then again, I don't believe in capitalism or working for some listless voluptuary.

"The laborer who tends a garden is perhaps a truer sense it's owner, than the listless voluptuary who enjoys it's fruits." -- Wilhelm von Humboldt smile


I sure don't know of any successful capitalist who could be described as listless.

And I have to say I enjoy my sensual pleasures including those provided by my Axiom speakers and the rest of my home theater.
