Are we better off than our parents? We have a better quality of life? I disagree, we may have more material good, but we also have dirty air, huge national and personal debt, a rotten infastructure that nobody wants to spend money on, and chemicals rampant in our enviroment. I live in very rual Missouri and can no longer drink our well water due to chemicals and ecoli. The Eastcoast's electric went out the other day, so what? Ours went out 4 times last week. I know it did because the clocks and VCR needed reset 4 times. Our electric was out 5 days due to a storm this spring. That didn't make national news. We live longer now so we can spend more on doctors and nursing homes. Is this quality of life, to spend more days as wards of whomever? Our True Value is locally owned just like McDonalds and lots of other franchises are. Franchises are good as they allow locals to compete on a national level. Is Walmart a franchise? If it's all about saving money why is K mart going under? Their prices are as good. Our local computer store sells CDRs, mice, keyboards, cables, computers, almost everything cheaper than WalMart. I checked and buy from them. I buy stuuf at WalMart myself because they broke their competition in the 70s and 80s and are all there is for some items locally. But, I shop around and buy from a local merchant if possible. You know really, when you buy from a dotcom you are helping UPS or FedEx. And now I am being called resistant to change. I don't resist change, I want change... Quit buying at Walmart and dotcoms and spend you money locally.
