And all of this hype and hoopla surrounding the release of this game just goes to show you how materialistic our country's population has become. Shootings, tramplings, riots, all to buy *a game*. You know what this says to me, that a large segment of our population has a tremdous vacumn in their lives, their souls. And rather than sitting down and figuring out what they are lacking, they are just stuffing more crap down their throats. Playstations, computer games, the latest greatest whatever. Perhaps if people would get off their ass and actually go out and get some human contact, they would find that they no longer need to buy ever increasing amounts of stuff.

As Plato pointed out, out of control appetites for whatever, food, sex, drugs, goods, whatever, is simply a manafestation of disorder within a society.
