(And, Larry, I agree with your statements, but one can make an argument
that at times, the quest for lower prices has lowered all qulaity as
well.)


One of the problems with not supporting local business even if they don't
offer more to you than the internet is that they help support your
community. If they go out of business or leave your area you no longer get
their tax support and typically a Doller General takes their place and that
is followed by people that think Dollar General is high priced. And those
people typically bring the value of the neighbor hood down. It becomes a
downward spiral and not a great place to live.
