A Late Addition...

OK. For all intents and purposes, all roads are currently leading to recession in these great United States, right? Which means that people should be spending less and trying to maintain the money they have... At least that is my understanding.
So, if this is the case, then why is there an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about people lining up to get a pair of $230 Air Jordans??
- that some other person will buy off of Ebay at twice the price or more?

I'm all for having nice things. But come on...how could anyone spend that kind of money on a pair of trainers??? This is consumerism at its most-disgusting best.

That was the front page picture and article for GSU's student paper too. College students should NOT be spending that kind of money. That's like... a book or two.
