Have to agree with you entirely Rocky. I definitely upgraded as I purchased kilts, though all of them were wool. I have a solution to retaining "mom and pop" stores: pass a law requiring store owners to live within a certain radius of their store (but I'm not a lawyer). Each community could then choose what kind of shopping they offer (cheap mega stores, or friendly small stores)
