  Waste sure seems to be good for...the economy. I just saw a product
that is a plastic liner for a crock pot. Cook/serve/toss liner in trash. Tah
dah! And there's recipe's that tell you to line the bowl with plastic
so you don't have to wash it! Ugh. I'm glad I won't be around when the
next generation has to deal with all this 'good for the economy.

The wayt is going now. Man uses up natural resources creating waste
faster than mother nature can convert waste into natural resources.
BOUT OH well.. waste is good for the economy. Who cares bout mother
nature right?

Pfft. Just pass it on to the next generation. If there is one.
