We need each other to survive and we never think about it.<BR/><BR/>Ingenuity, sweat, hopes and dreams, it's all there in row after row of shiny packages expertly designed to catch your eye.<BR/><BR/>Crass commercialism? Stuff we don't need? Crap and Tchotzkes galore?<BR/><BR/>Yup, but it also the American, Chinese, Mexican, Yugoslavian, Russian dream. It's mothers, fathers, babies. Where else can you get snow boots, roses, condoms, milk and a flat-screen TV while getting your car fixed? <BR/><BR/>It's the miraculous become commonplace and it's cheap.<BR/><BR/>I like to go there and just look around sometimes. Think about everything we have and how it got there. <BR/><BR/>Walmart is amazing. It is staggering, mind-blowingly glorious...Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696247289633656313noreply@blogger.com
