[TheForge] Fw: Can't compete w/ this

[Jerry Smith]

Most people want things as cheap as they can get them,
most are living on their credit cards in their quest
for keeping up with the "Jones". Many have the Walmart
mentality. Educating them helps some, but many can not
afford fine hand crafted items, except those "better"
beers. Drink Guiness!

As far as that world clock, so what! I live in BFE
Ohio, where the barn cats rule the world and our only
crime is speeding.
