Reply #9: Today I work harder to get less but it is worth it to me [View All]

Who would have expected that the children of the flower power generation would buy into such wholesale consumption. The kids these days must purchase clothing that advertises for the "big name-brand" guys. I am so not into using my body to advertise for a corporation. It is such a challenge to purchase anything these days that does not have a brand blazoned upon it - no space to make it one's own. Corporations have taken a child's imagination and used it for these purposes - and parents pay for it!

That we are exhorted to spend money that we don't have to consume everything we don't need has robbed us of our peace of mind.

I saw through the "war on terror" because I had watched for the success of the "war on drugs" same old same old,....

Clear Skies, Healthy Forest, No Child Left Behind all mottoes of a consumer mindset - if you tag it with a cool saying, a snappy jingle you can sell garbage to anyone. A vine ripened tomato - HA!
