I hate the wastefulness of the constantly new cycle of fashion.

*I love the way a soft new sweater feels fresh from the dryer.*

I hate the chasm between our food producers and my kitchen table.

*I love frozen entrees and fresh blueberries in February.*

I hate that my house has sixteen chairs for four people.

*I love the acrylic chair on page 37 of my favorite magazine.*

I hate that my family spends at a rate equal to or even greater than our earnings.

*Ooooh, shoes.*
