One knows that things are getting tough economically across the nation when even Wal-mart is impacted. The meglomaniacal Arkansas retail behemoth announced that it will not be building a store in Douglas, WY. Decisions that reverse plans for a store construction only happen with community citizen activity against the largest evil monster corporation of all, like what has happened in western Montana and Ravalli County. Plans for building other stores in two other remote small Wyoming towns, Rawlins and Worland, may also change resulting in no economic decimation of local businesses there. Even the most powerful and largest of beasts often feel and experience sluggishness and lethargy due to overconsumption and regular overgorging. And the smaller and smarter creatures find shortcomings and take advantage of and exploit the monster in minimal, almost unseen ways.http://www.trib.com/articles/2008/03/15/news/wyoming/b2092520cb3e0e688725740c007c4c6f.txt

Wal mart just opened 2 stores in this area, one in Bernalillo and one in Edgewood(!!), as if we needed any more!! I recently watched a documentary about them, though I can't remember the name of it,maybe it was "The high cost of low prices" or something like that, anyway it was interesting... you should boycott them and shop elsewhere...
