Socialism V. Capitalism















Very profound article on Adbusters about the difference in mindset for someone who grew up in a socialist culture. It definitely puts some perspective on the "economic crisis". It's sobering how much (or lack of) worth is put on "things" and how much pride is taken in furthering the whole. I agree that there is a "void" that capitalism creates; one of selfish entitlement that breeds cynicism and complacency.

Bodum tea kettle - Clara






















Beautiful. Functional. Great design. Bought this the other day and thought, there is no way the handle will not get too hot to use. I was wrong. It gets a little warm but only a tad. I love it - plus it has a whistler.
