Drives me nuts. About as much as when people mispronounce "often."<br><br>I do disagree somewhat w/ your philosophy on "too much money." All of us, no matter who we are, live within our means, and there's a market for every tax bracket. It's not the amount of money someone has or spends that is an issue. The problem is the fact that we all allow ourselves to be duped into the idea that, if it costs more, it must be better. The one that gets me is name brand vs. generic, especially when a single company will market the exact same product for 2 different markets.<br><br>Anyway, unless I misunderstand your intent, your statement leans towards blaming people with "too much money." By who's standards? As a concept, it just doesn't exist outside of an individual's perspective, and as everyone, of course, knows...perception is reality. :D<br><br>As for myself, I try to do my part in the never-ending battle for true common sense. The only time I buy bottled water is for convenience during travel. And even then, I go for the cheapest option. However, the fact that I have a choice to purchase a liquid form of 1 part oxygen with 2 parts hydrogen at any price I want simply tells me that some people are just idiots, no matter how much money they have.WazNeenihttp://www.wazneeni.comnoreply@blogger.com
