Then again, there are those of us who chose to dress (and furnish our homes) by serendipity -- what I find that appeals to me at yardsales, consignment shops, Goodwill, flea markets and antique shops. I like to think I'm intelligent, creative and frugal -- not to mention leaving a small footprint on the earth's resources.

And I haven't watched television since 1983. And listen to public (non-commercial) radio.

I like the thrill of the chase -- looking really good while spending next thing to nothing.

Does Dubyah consider me to be unpatriotic because I'm not a "consumer"? Probably. (Oh, damn.)

Oh, and I prefer not to wear logos on the outside of my apparel.
