Saw my first PLASTIC coffee can in Kmart a week ago. While it seemed to be fairly sturdy, it was plastic ... and hence not as useful as the old 3-pound metal coffee cans. What are kids going to use to make drums for school? What are home mechanics going to store old nuts and bolts in? What are us preparedness people going to use to make emergency stoves? Sometimes ... "progress," such as it were, just plain sucks. <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
