I know that I sound like I am beating the union drum, but it is more than that, it is the American way. We are all short term sighted. We want to buy cheap today as we import our jobs and way of life to China and India. I was in Wal-Mart this week and bought my young girl two pairs of pants for $7/e and two shirts for $3/e off of the discontinued items. I'm smart enough to realize what is happening buy not smart enough to do anything about it besides buying cheap stuff myself. I don't have any answers, I can just relate to loosing another piece of ourselves.
