And making the sale of nonprescription >crutches illegal. But that isn't the way "big stores" work. It's the little independent stores and "little" "independent" optometrists that cause expensive stuff to persist even to the extent of preventing possible quality low-cost substitutes. Could you eat today only from ma-and-pa grocery stores? Big stores think 'many people -- simple, standard plumbing' gives us more income. This tends to wipe out appealing, unique products, but favors the poor with utilitarian items available at low prices. So get the *big* stores together with the *big* manufacturers and get them trotting over to the legislatures to dump optometric and certain medical laws and cut out the pseudo-expert middlemen. > ................... > Ray
