The Lost Art of Building With Your Hands

This is more of an op-ed piece that is only loosely tied to this world in the sense that what he built involved PVC.  What I like about it is it sheds light on what I call the New Poverty.  That is, the fact that the plastic and fully automatic world of developed nations impoverishes our creative spirit.  It impoverishes the human spirit in a way that you find the New Wealth in places like drought starved Africa.
