Need,or desire?
SloppyJoe Quote:-"China is to blame as that is where it originates but only due to the ever increasing need for cheap goods in the west. Those who complain need to see how much stuff they have bought that is made in China"
The only people that "need" cheap goods are the shopkeepers, to get people to spend money. A lot of my purchases are purely because of the price not because of the need. I recently replaced a perfectly good CRT television set with a new flat screen LCD set. I didn't need to but the price was good.
How many "Gadget Men" or "Got to have it people" or "Janets" (Just Another New Electronic Toy) do you know?
But it is just as well that the goods are cheap as they probably won't be working next year - ahh, even more pollution!
