Re: Wal-Mart and Globization



Dear Vision2020:

Consumers want Wal Mart over their local merchants?

Yes, I suppose so; but, I am reminded that the devil plays the best tunes.

It is a sad statement about humanity that in this case, the dreaded Wal Mart
does not sell the best tunes, only the cheapest.
