That's the understatement of the century. We (and I'm speaking out of love, here!) generated entirely too much culture in way too quick a time. And it's all plastic, it's all petroleum-based and bisphenolated and encased in latex and polycarbonate. We invented "functional obsolescence" and we turned the meaning of "make a sale" into "creating market value."

But what I think is awesome about YOU, Hanna, is that you are one of those who knows that the WE is not *all* of us. The idea that people outside of the US might be able to see this paradigm cool-headedly, and view us as people, fairly, this gives me great hope for the future.

Well.. at least SOME hope.
