But it would cost more if you figure in the plane ticket over there.


When my dad used to get sent to Korea for business, my mom would trace our feet and give him our clothing sizes so that he could buy up shoes and clothes. My parents used to love shopping in Korea.

I hear ya!

Actually I (like others) see both positive and negative aspects to Wally World.

They destroy smaler towns by running the traditional "Mom and Pop" businesses who built the town out of business.

But then again, it sure is nice to be able to do a "One Stop Shop" after a long hard week of work.

Personally, I refuse to allow un-American made products into our home which greatly limits their inventory for our household, then again, I find myself spending much more for a comparable product just to support our workers here at home.

What's a guy to do?

It is already very big in the UK but here they trade under the name of Asda a company they took over a couple of years ago

Well, that's interesting!

I wonder why they didn't use the same name over there?
(Over here that's the "American Stamp Dealers Association.")

Asda was already established and had a good name in the UK. So when Walmart bought them out they kept the name.

Absolutely.

The United States was once the leader in manufacturing and quality of life. We used to make, bar none, the finest and most dependable vehicles on the planet.

Jobs were abundant and construction was done with pride. Remember when homes were built with real wood? Oak, mahogany, and with craftsmanship?

Levi's, Wrangler, Justin, you name it, our clothing was among the very finest.

Today it seems nobody cares and nobody misses it. We're happy with pressboard cabinets, foreign silly looking little cars with no horsepower and that your head rubs the ceiling on and long unemployment lines.

We can either learn from the fall of the Roman Empire and Diocletian, or we can do it all again and pray that some future nation learns from our mistakes.

It's true what they say about those who refuse to learn from the past.
