Sounds like this post is being occupied by the "wrinkled ones"! :) Being an old person myself, I heartily second Dave-so and Dialyn and I think ockham hit it right on the head. It seems like a lot of the people who create the images and spend money on these products want to "escape" from a world that has become too unpleasant and too confusing....especially for the young ones who may have grown up in over protective environments with their every request provided. Then they leave home and find out that life really doesn't "owe us" and that "jobs" are just that. They come home at night and try to recreate the fantasy world they grew up watching on TV, or express their disillusionment by creating apocalyptic scenes. I would guess the vendors are simply providing what the "mass market" will buy. Those of us who want to recreate our memories of a simpler time are left to hope that a few of the vendors will be willing to accommodate us :)
