Re: is e-commerce a the threat to main street trade?

[John & Janesta Sullivan <jsullivan@moscow.com>]

of course it's not a necessity, we havent been to a movie in years, some
people enjoy a movie and dinner, etc. our daughter goes every week!!
To each his own. I feel it's a waste of money, most movies are junk, not
all, just most... SO when it's out on video we have people over, (after
we have gotten first hand reviews from our friends) or just rent one once
in awhile by ourselves. $1.79 - $3.00 is cheaper than (what is a movie
now anyway?) and my popcorn is much better. It has nothing to do with "avoiding
our obligation of rubbing shoulders with the unwashed masses" what
does that mean anyway?

Which is kind of the point: The trend towards electronic transactions like
pay-per-view movies lets us avoid our obligation(?) to rub shoulders with
the un-washed masses on our main streets.  With out the need for a main
street, what's to keep future communities anywhere from looking like the
Cleveland you've described?
