I don't ever recall saying that regulation doesn't impose costs. Now - I certainly may have said that those costs are worth it because of other goals that a specific piece of regulation may achieve, but I don't think I've ever been on the other side of the question of whether it imposes costs.

I love it when my anti-WalMart friends complain to me about me shopping there and I can say I'm keeping my Carbon Footprint lower because I don't have to make multiple trips. Ha Ha, they know my feelings on the whole AGW debate so it kind of gets them in a bind. Anyway, I agree that characterization is off base. There are a multitude of different kinds of people that shop there, all because of low prices. Prices have an uncanny effect of canceling out partisanship, except in some extreme cases. But most of the people I know that fear Wal Mart are young and have no money anyway, so it's not like Wal Mart fears their wrath.
