They don't survive as is, but they can morph into other things. As more and commodity buying happens over the Internet, there's more room for invention with enterprises that aren't commodity based. Consider just the possibilities with entertainment and education, not to mention that distributed manufacturing is still happening somewhere, and that could be right in our own countries if tariffs and taxes are handled right (a *gradual* move in the direction of a free world-economy), and that would boost prosperity in rural areas and gives people who want to live in the country the chance to. Why don't we have parks all over the place - within distance that we can walk to? Why no amphitheatres, so ubiquitous in ancient Greece, but completely unavailable to us now? What happened to casual meeting/milling places? Why can't some re-born commodities businesses big on building and maintain a park in your part of town? What about an amphitheatre company instead of a furniture store? If it takes an acre instead of a small building, that's good - use up that space provided by people moving into the country :) Bill _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
