I go to little league ball games and minor league ball games.
For decades. Not for money. For enjoyment.

You do realize that reading a book is published by some company who wish to make money.
Bloggers are paid (wish I was paid btw).

they are the equivelant of an op-ed writer. Maureen Dowd probably makes a million dollars
Is her opinion any more valid than mine? (please send a million to me).

And gotta say, the internet connections(no matter if at office, home, in a cafe or book store), are given to us by companies that want to make a profit any way they can.

I don't sweat these things.

I have gone to amusement parks since I was little. Disneyworld wasn't around, and Disneyland when it was built, was 3000 miles away so never went there.

Went bowling, went to ball games, played little league (and darn it, yup, even back then we probably (I can't say I remember for sure), did have a patch for the local company that made the uniforms and sponsored us(little league is not free). And Kids love patches.
but then, we bought ice cream cones that were made by a profit company, and drank Coke out of a green bottle(tasted better back then).

and played ball in NYC with those little pink spaldeens (manufactured of course we know now by one of the biggest sporting good makers in the world Spalding).

and we smoked back then cigarettes made by major corporations weren't they?

You can't outrun it. It was always there in some form or other.

and to attempt to outrun it means imprisoning oneself (IMHO) and not being free to enjoy whatever there is to enjoy(each person has their own enjoyments, it is true).

and to attempt to leave something for those later on to enjoy.

as the late Richard Carlson wrote and said Don't sweat the small stuff, after all, its all small stuff.(corny? Yes, but in retrospect, true).
