Let's hope we never get into a real war. I can see it now: "Sargeant, would you please tell the enemy to cut it out---their bombs are too bright and too noisy. Also, you failed to designate which foxholes are free speech zones." We are in trouble.
Anytime ANY change is made like this at Walmart there are some people who may like the change, some people who won't like THAT particular change, and some people who resist ANY kind of change (no matter what). I need to think about this Walmart change more to have my opinion on it. In the meantime, I will applaud Walmart for trying something that people MAY like. At many stores, the music IS too loud or music meant only for the youngest segment of their shoppers.
