All Roads Lead to Wal-Mart

Sadly, it’s true. All roads do seem to lead to Wal-Mart. No matter where you go, you can count on finding this store along your way–which in my opinion, isn’t necessarily a good thing. I don’t like the place. And I really don’t like seeing its buildings littering every highway I go down.
