Well, I say good for Walmart.
Not that I personally have a problem with the fact that a CD cover has marijuana leaves on it ... I could care less. But frankly, I can see where parents wouldn't necesarily want to be shopping for toys or clothes for their children in Walmart and see that. I mean, it IS Walmart. You assume you are not going to see graphics of illegal drugs in Walmart. You can expect that if you go into a head shop ... but one would like to think Walmart is safe ground for shopping with your kids, grandparents, etc.
I believe that their are certain images that should remain taboo. I don't think that EVERYthing needs to become acceptable and mainstream.
Mr. Nelson has the right to freedom of speech and expression in the good old USA. And so does Walmart. As it should be.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
