Yellow strength please.
"We are getting to a point where many people do not live near
any independent shops" ? I disagree. In the big cities there
always are ones, and most rural areas have them because they
have to. BTW there's an excellent independent bookstore near
you in Gaithersburg about hmm 2 blocks from 355 on Shady
Grove Rd.
As for "other people don't care" I must say, let's worry about
ourselves more and other people less in this issue.
