It completely lowers our expectations -- so what if it falls apart in a week or looks junky from the start, it's cheap! Very much a disposable generation. Well said!lgrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724714125698656417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26511821.post-1151339678601417002006-06-26T11:34:00.000-05:002006-06-26T11:34:00.000-05:00I totally know what you mean here, but I don't thi...I totally know what you mean here, but I don't think it's TV that has ruined us, I think it's Wal-Mart! We have become the disposable generation.<BR/><BR/>I live overseas at the moment, and the contrast is staggering. People here actually save up and pay cash for cars. And guess what? They appreciate them!<BR/><BR/>Their clothes are well made, and in general they follow more 'classic' designs that can and will be worn well past what an American would consider the expiration date.<BR/><BR/>And I could go on...<BR/><BR/>We want more because we can get more at Wal-Mart. Before we could get so many things so cheaply, we didn't want them. And now, we can't live without our weekly spree.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858819381725556702noreply@blogger.com
