If I ever needed more for a project than I had available to me, I went down to Value Village to shop for more. Worst-case scenario is that I either didn’t build exactly what I wanted, or I went to Fred Meyer and bought another set of random blocks. I guess now I could go to a Lego store and buy just the pieces I need by the pound or something like that. I’ve never treated Legos as a finite resource.

As for "Pelo and her colleagues," I have to question why they are in the day care business. Obviously it isn't for the kids, if they are willing to publish sociological minutiae about in the children in their care in academic reviews, treating the children as no better than subjects of study, and then using them as examples to propound a ridiculous theory that searching for little plastic blocks to make little plastic buildings in little plastic environs can in any way realistically be applied to reality. That's the problem with socialism: it's too easy, and this is a beautiful example. Don't we wish all life could be constructed out of lego pieces?
