Good point. A city can absorb a Big Box much more comfortably than in the boonies. It's more of a moral and aesthetic victory than an economic victory over Wal Mart in Manhattan. Because many people in Manhattan don't do their shopping by car and so are more inclined to support local merchants out of convenience, there is less instant damage to small retail from a Big Box in the city.

As a janitor, I must disagree. You have obviously not experienced Kleenex Premier roll towels. They are extremely sturdy, do not fall apart, do not leave little bits of dust behind, and do not cause streaks on glass. It only takes one roll of Kleenex Premier roll towels to clean up an entire kitchen, a pile of poop (including diarhea), or even a discarded human fetus.

But honestly, they are probably not for your broke ass. A roll of Kleenex Premier roll towels sets you back $3.69. But if you want Quality, I assure you that you can do no better.

I recently moved back to where I grew up in rural southern West Virginia. The town I live in has about 4,000 residents. Before I left several years ago there was actually a good number of small locally-owned businesses. A couple of years ago a 24 hr. super Wal-Mart was constructed in town. Anyone care take a guess at how many of those small locally-owned businesses are still open and doing well for themselves now? Very few. Wal-Mart takes advantage of economically depressed rural areas and destroys local business. I'm pretty sure this is quite the norm all over the country. The kicker is that its kind of difficult not to shop at Wal-Mart sometimes...especially when you're broke. And for that I must heartily say...Fuck Wal-Mart!

I am proud to say (much to my neighbor's dismay) that our small town of 5000 told walmart to stay the fuck away.


We are opening a community store.

For glass, use newsprint.

They are true masters.
When the manager hanged himself, I busted out in tears laughing.
Rarely have I done that watching a show by myself.

I haven't seen this episode but not too long ago I saw the War Craft episode. That was really good, to the point that it caused me to reasess my general dislike of South Park.

I will keep an eye out for this episode, is what I'm saying.
