I have chosen the yes, side of this tale and could have just as easily chosen the no if I wanted to represent corporate American or Canada for that matter or if I had wanted to represent the Government. I feel that the No side represents the corporations and the Government and I have decided to vote yes and represent the people of the countries on this issue.

Yes, I feel that Walmart has taken away the pride of the country and given us in return samples of cheap disposable and short lived quality products that nobody would even think of passing along to their grandchildren or anyone else for that matter. Walmart represents the lowest of low in population of people and those who are not interested in success or making the country a better place. Companies such as the like take away our personal pride and our desire to do better in order to achieve a level of success that makes the achiever feel the joy of living. The store's products are nickel and diming customers to death and giving us a laissez-faire attitude toward life in general. We have become apathetic and pathetic as a country.

Stores like Walmart are for the masses who don't want to think and want to be spoon fed. It is a nice store and well laid out but the attitude that it generates makes me feel like we are becoming subculture in the world and I think we are. We are too lazy to make things nice on our own and we resort to flash in the pan junk sent to Canada and the US from these over burdened work houses in modern times in countries all over the world. We are a dumping ground for the crap that any other country can produce with little time and no quality.

When I was young (those famous last words of the dying aged old soul) we were taught to look up and look forward to wanting a better life and it was represented by our homes and our quality of living in our homes. A lot of America and Canada look like the Rosanne Barr show and we dress like it and we act like it. Every small town can be classified as no longer "small town America or Canada" but the schemered town called "Landford" brought about by that TV show. We still have 2.3 children and we are loosing out on a population of white anglo saxon people who are no longer a majority but a minority and soon to be extinct. We buy cheap insignificant joy toys and think that that is quality purchasing.

The reworked beer bottles one buys on their vacation to Mexico is better than any glass product that one buys in Walmart. The quality of the fabric is poor
