by

Having options is arguably the greatest and most important ideal in this, our great country. Yet in our opportunist-inclined society, has the idea of “options” slowly dissipated as capitalism increases?

It's a sad reality that one day we'll all probably be faced with the following question when choosing where to buy groceries: “Should I shop at Wal-Mart or … the Wal-Mart superstore?” But dismissing a system that has existed for as long as most of us can remember would be exceptionally ignorant; after all, Wal-Mart does have great prices.
