Seems more useful than 3-4 overpriced clothing items when my closet is already full (whose isn't?). My wife is the manager of our local Hospice Thrift shop, which benefits from local donations, including personal effects of old folks who have passed on - we have a lot of those in Hilton Head. What's astounding to her is the amount of clothes people accumulate. A recent involuntary donor had over 100 pairs of slacks, 30 of them with price tags still attached. What was he going to do with them, except contribute to the consumer driven mania? As the consumer delevers, something has to take its place. Looks like that'll be the government.

Will people rush back to their old ways, full of pent up demand? Cannot last long if it happens.. Truly hope it doesn't.. much worse pain to come if so.. a Showdown ? ELO Comes to mind... :o( She cried to the southern wind About a love that was sure to end Every dream in her heart was gone Headin for a showdown Bad dreamer, whats your name Looks like were ridin' on the same train Looks as through there'll be more pain Theres gonna be a showdown And its rainin all over the world Its raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night She came to me like a friend She blew in on a southern wind Now my heart is turned to stone again Theres gonna be a showdown Save me, oh save me Its unreal, the suffering Theres gonna be a showdown And its rainin all over the world Its raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night
