To be honest, I do not know what to think of Wal Mart. I'm happy that a once-small Arkansas store made it (I'm orginally from the northeast part,) but they are no longer a small Arkansas store. They played the game better than anyone, not only going from a large store with strong buying power, but now they are a mega empire that influences foreign trade policies. Yeah, their quality is suspect, but what store's isn't?They are playing the game to the ultimate extreme. Reminds me of the cartoon "Pinky and the Brain," where at the end of the show Pinky asks the Brain, "Hey Brain, what are we goin' do tonight?" The Brain replies, "Same thing we do every night; try and take over the world.".........Colin
