The only part I'll chime in on is the Wallmart being put on a Hawaiian burial gorund, wethetr it employs people or is hopworthy or not, I'll leave that to you guys. I was fortunate enough to get to visit Italy this year. I went through allot of cities in Northern Italy and saw places that wer a thousand years old. One of teh memories that is the most deeply burned into my mind after my return is the vast amount of McDonalds. Everywhere you look there was a McDonalds. I went to this city on toip of a mountain that was over a thousand years old. The place was gorgeous. As you are coming up the front gates that are the only way in or out what is sitting right outside to the left of teh gate? Thats right a McDonalds.

I bring this up because I think we should have a ceratin amount of respect for some things, wether its' architecture or places with spiritual relevance. It's fine that we want the conveniance of having an easy to shop at place or fast food on every corner, but I think we are really robbing ourselevs in teh long run if that is all that we have, Wallmarts and McDonalds. If the Wallmart would emplot lots of people and the communitty wanted it then fine, just put it somewhere else.
