That was cool to watch! But the word that kept coming to my mind was "virus". Like a disease spreading across the land.

You are to late for that bet. They are currently doing business in 15 countries. They account for a full 3% of the US GNP and if they were a country would have one of the largest economies on earth.

Reminds me of a story I read once about a end of the world type scenario.
Wall-mart has grown in such size as to now have multistory centers that rise high as a sky scraper. and are miles in length and width. Fully automated in the production and shelving of its products. With every such product you could want in it. Growing their own food on the huges roofs. Even housing IN the store! They become so big at such low low prices that all other businesses go out. Eventually Wall-mart controlls all the money in the world. Governments go broke, society falls. Riots and war breaks out over supplies. Prople run to saftey, hiding in the walls of Wall-mart. Eventually nearly all of the outside world is lost. Gangs rule the interrior of wall-mart. Using the gardening section for vehicles and the hunting section for weapons, these gangs have taken over rule of the Wall-mart societies. Some have escaped their rule, hunting and scrounging amons the towering shelves. Those in the store lose pigment in their skin, becomming ghostly white. Those who chose to live on the roof of wall-mart have darkend. and have become known as the "Surface dwellers" mysterious and xenophobic.
There is no communication bewteen the wall-marts. Each one a world and culture of its own.

Walmart has both good and bad points. Maybe more bad than good..... but where else can you still buy clothing for the kids on sale at $1 - $3 each?
