One thing that continues to appall me is the lack of things for children to do in a city. It seems that things either have to cost money which they will get from heir parents. Or they are accused of loitering. I've mentioned this before but it is funny that since the economic down turn there seems to be more kids paying out side. This is a good thing. Maybe we can counter obesity through poverty. Or something like that.
Joe's last question today really made me think. I love the idea of living off of the grid. Not that you are mooching but that you are enjoying life as a process not a product. What if we all made our own clothes instead of spending hours shopping? We would no longer have people in ambercrombie shirts that say dumb things and cost $80 but we would have the pride of making our own clothes. Yeah it would still cost a little money but more of it would be time.
At times I think we have let ideas like comparative advantage take over our lives and convince us that things are worth what they are priced at not their value.
