You would do that if you could get evrything in a store across the street for the same price with free delivery and a free haircut. :p
I'm talking about normal people that go shopping and you are a self professed anti-socialite.
Truthfully, I do most of my shopping online or by mail also. Always have, but I never claimed to be normal.

I recently read an article about Ireland being the richest nation in Europe.

Boeing sells more planes in Ireland than anywhere else. Leasing companies that rent them to airlines and charter operators.

That's part of being a civilized nation.

You make that sound like it's a good thing. I wouldn't know, having always been an American.
