Goodwill Ambassadors

The new royal couple is coming to America (not music to my ears). Kate and Will are strutting their stuff, actually their expensive wardrobes, along the streets of NYC. I presume that they are acting as GWA's for their nation's economic austerity program. Perhaps a visit to a Goodwill Thrift Shop would be a good idea for every so-named dignitary? What might they see there?

People hungry to find good stuff at incredibly low cost? Yes, but also many who are trying to figure how they can dress their household with the little money they have. How their children can have toys and other members electronics without breaking the (piggy) bank.  How pre-owned shoes are still shoes if you can find a sock to mend.

Anyone notice that the business report is being given by what appear to be ex-models and beauty pageant winners? I guess it's good to put a pretty face on the news if you can't put a happy one on it.

The late George Carlin summed up the contradiction I'm describing as 'your stuff is junk; my junk is stuff.' Case in point: The late Osama's bin. It's news that his junk has been found now that it's moving day for the family. Things like reflection notes and letters to family and friends are no longer personal but profitable (maybe there'll even be a movie made). Dare I say - the stuff of legends.

If you'd like to speak with me more about this matter, look for me on the streets of Delco, probably escorted by my informal beauty queen looking through other people's junk that will soon be my stuff.
