The over-expansion of Wal-mart has actually become a political issue here
in Orange County. In Huntington Beach there is a derelict grammar school
that the city want to sell to Wal-mart so they can build a store there,
and the citizens have been fighting it tooth and nail because they don't
want a big "superstore" (and all the extra traffic that would come with
it) smack in the middle of a residential area.

These mega-business expansions and mergers are going too far IMHO. (To
think that from now on whenever I eat a Ritz cracker I'm going to be
aiding the tobacco industry!!)
