[MD] Walmart, Final Answer

[Dallas Van Winkle]

I'm sorry Platt, but Walmart embodies static social level patterns. It is
not dynamic quality. Walmart embodies doing things for profit rather than
for the sake of dynamic quality, and since it is founded on such a low level
of the hierarchy, everything it is related to suffers. (remember Pirsig's
comments on Beauty).

NYC has nothing to do with Walmart. Walmart is a typically suburban
phenomena. Cities are dynamic, suburbia generally consists of static
patterns that try to imitate dynamic quality but generally fail. The ugly
tan buildings that all look the same, the low quality products, the fear,
the overzealoutry, it all says the same thing to me... It's all trying to be
dynamic by being profitable, so in essence it is like trying to find
fulfillment by eating the ends of the banana while completely overlooking
the middle.
