I think for the most part we don't buy all that much that is new, though we did get a couple Christmas presents for each other.<BR/><BR/>We try not to buy the cheapo stuff, since it breaks so easily.<BR/><BR/>We watched the video, sort of a couple times, since Jonathan and I were watching it when Heather came down, so then at the end, watched it again so Heather could see the first parts.<BR/><BR/>We were surprised at some of the statistics (some were too low and some too high in my estimations), and some of the stuff you just sort of have to laugh about how she is exaggerating to make her point.<BR/><BR/>The one thing about the $4.99 radio, is that I don't think she really explained how the cost is so cheap. I still don't know how a radio can be shipped around the world, whether or not slave labor was used, and the factory that made it polluted, etc. That makes the effective price of the radio go up, but still doesn't change that somehow the vendor can make a profit when he sells a $4.99 radio.<BR/><BR/>If you don't want to post your progress on your blog for whatever reason as you go along, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts throughout this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130441.post-28592809161735601962008-01-07T20:52:00.000-05:002008-01-07T20:52:00.000-05:00P.S.

I do NOT condone illegal file sharing because A) it's illegal and B) it could possibly hurt a struggling artist.Laedelas Greenleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125748354062785426noreply@blogger.com
