I can't stop thinking about something I saw on CBC Sunday Morning about a week ago.  And no, I'm not up on Sunday morning for fun.  I work at noon on Sundays hence the up-ness early enough to catch the show.  Anyway, they were talking about the economic crisis and saying how this is actually a fabulous opportunity for consumers to change the way the world looks.  Every dollar spent has become incredibly important.  With large block stores finding it harder to cope a conscious effort by consumers to shop with independent retailers could change the whole retail landscape.  Main street could come back.  Is that thought not just amazingly exciting or am I just focussing on a minor detail?  Fixations like that are a hazard of having no life!  :)
