How else are they going to get you to pay more than it's worth, for 
something you don't need, that they can come back and get you to pay for

Most people have not noticed that the current strategy in the building 
products industry is the shift from permenant maintainable materials 
(wood, bricks & granite) to cosumable products (paper & plastic with 
just enough crap to hold them together for about 14 months.)
