If you ever talk to my kids, you will sooner or later hear them say that dad was always saying that variety is the spice of life. I am a person who likes variety in life. I don’t like to do the same old thing every day, and be in the same old dull rut.

I was in a mall in Las Vegas recently and noticed the huge variety that was there. Without market restrictions set by a government, entrepreneurs are free to create whatever they feel the public will buy, and they are creating a lot of different stuff. A stroll through the mall allows you to see just how much stuff there is.

Of course, I don’t have the money to buy all that stuff, nor would I want to buy that stuff if I had the money, but just the fact that it exists is kind of fun because the world has changed a lot since I grew up and the variety of stuff out there to buy is an indicator of just how much it has changed. Just walking in a Corelle Ware store was an object lesson on how much “kitchen stuff” there is you could buy. What a great place we live in.
