I saw something yesterday. It was at the junction of State and Center in Orem Utah and it is what makes America…well, America.
Here, at the crossroads of the Midwest, there was an intersection. An intersection with McDonald’s, Wells Fargo Bank, Albertson’s and Blockbuster on one side of the street and on the other side of the street was Burger King, Check City, Smith’s and Hollywood Video!
And therein, ladies and gentlemen, lies the heart of America! Free market capitalism—that is, the opportunity to succeed and the liberty to fail (although our current government may not agree with the latter *cough*GM*cough*). I thought it not ironic that there, at the center of the state(s) was this perfect cross-section of the greatness of America.
So lets raise our cheap Wallmart glass mugs and drink to the forgotten 5&Dimes of America. For if they would all still be around, we would be living in Socialism. (*cough*Obama*cough*)
Editor's Note: In no way does the author condone breaking wallmart products or drinking the substance that appears to be in the mugs as depicted in the above inserted image.
