March 7, 2008 Chautauqua

From the Editor's Computer

Last time I didn’t really have much say, and a lot of space to not say it in! This time I have lots to say...and little space to say it.

I read the other day that 99% of everything we purchase (does not include food) ends up disposed of in less than 6 months! We are throwing away almost everything we buy in less than 6 months.

When did quantity become more important than quality? When did disposable replace lasting? When did pride in workmanship give way to cheap mass production at all costs?

Something for us to think about as we shop.
