***I have never gone past a Wal-Mart that didn’t have blue bags blowing all over the place.***

You must bee out of the loop. W-M has changed to a white bag.

OH you are good. I looked at Traumer's quote of Nietzche and thought, 'huh?, what does that mean.' This Nitze guy was foolish.

This looks just like the Wal-Mart in El Paso, Tx.

Good Point, syberghost.

This article fails to mention that (per 11-4 Reuters article)that 'hundreds of other mainly smaller businesses have sprouted in the past decade or more' in the same area where Wal-Mart has located.

Would like to see a pic of this area; would be interesting to see what these 100's of other shops sell and what shape they are in.

"People need the well-being of their families more than culture," said one Ahh, but don't you understand that pyramids are more important than low prices? I love the smell of capitalism in the morning...

Environmental groups had argued that the store was too close to the ruins and would erode the local way of life.

Like being hungry. Shoes made out of tires. Having only one set of clothes.

Yes at all cost the simple local way of life must be preserved. (As long as the Environmentalist don't have to live it.)

Can't be much of a pyramid. Nor photo, no height, no described significance

"This Nitze guy was foolish"

I was a Philosophy major in college. Not only was he foolish, he has syphillis, and hated Christians with a passion. My verdict: today he would be a Democrat.

I want to know who "approved" the building of these pyramids. Where were the enviornmentalists when the pristine jungle was destroyed by these monstrosities. It's way past time that these pyramids be torn down so that nature can take its course. After all, Walmart will need additional parking spaces in the near future.

"ALL your pyramids... belong to us !"
And what would you be doing with the pyramids? They are in ruins, not even pyramids in good repair. It will cost you a fortune to renovate them to Las Vegas standards.

Hey maybe like 20,000 years from now that WalMart will be considered an archeological site.
