I am making that change in my own life.

Years ago I opened an account at Wachovia because it was within easy walking distance of my house. Wachovia then became Wells Fargo and I started hearing horror stories about WF's unfair mortgage practices. When the guilt became overwhelming, I opened a credit union account.

Now I no longer have to support the greed machine.
