failing economy? consume locally, waste globally
Thanks to mind programming while in college through hours of Dr Who and Monty Python I am hopelessly addicted to Brit TV. BBC America is as bad as Hollyweird controlling what I can watch.
Thank you Amazon for offering a world-wide bazaar that allows me to shop in the UK and other outlets internationally.
Thank you MasterCard/Visa for converting my daddy warbucks to euro-monoply monies.
Thank you international postal treaties that get the digital blobs of overpriced plastic to me in reasonable time.
Thank you big and little tigers for building a basic cheap DVD player for a world hungry for something different to watch. And cheap LCD tvs that display the same. Thank you Wal-Mart for colonizing the planet so we can buy this junk locally. Thank you Pentagon for subsidizing the invention of the internet so knowledge is mostly free and easy.
I wonder what I'd be buying today if there'd been chip and ka-bab shops in Oklahoma?
