Material Girl…

I had joked with Kim and Amy that this PSS question would lead to everyone titleing their posts “Material Girl”.  Turned out I was wrong, so I’ll pay pennance w/ my title this time around.  

Amy set this theme: “This week I asked “what 5 material things (so not kids, spouses, money, etc. I am talking about real tangibles) would you not want to live without?”

1) Oil / Petroleum:  Our lives would be significantly set-back if this resource never existed or worse, dried. up.   While you won’t find me chanting ‘Drill, baby, drill” (WTF was up with that anyway?!) I do appreciate the stuff.  

2) Gavanized Rubber:  You really should look up how important this material is.  Without it we are stuck driving on wood or steel tires.  Neither a very optimal solution. 

3) Refrigeration: Without it our food supply would be seriously limited.  Millions would die.  That = bad thing. 

4) Computers / Microchips: Amazing little invention - comes in handy from time to time. 

5) The Internet - Good hell! How did people exist before the internet?  Before IMDB?  Before wikipedia, weather.com, CNN, ect.  Just think back 15 years ago.  Shit we had to go to the library and look things up in the encylopedia! Savagery!
