WTF?? THere are no limits to my hatred of crass commercialism in this country. And there are no limits to how low they will go to sell....shit. Loads and loads of shit.
THink about this: Somehow....we've managed to become a country that is overweight, in debt, and owning mounds and mounds of garbage that will make its way to goodwill, landfills, or 3rd world countries.

Bowling For Columbine? Marilyn Manson sums it up very well: Americans are in a cycle of fear and consume.

5. yep. Michael Moore has been a good agitator and...he makes you |
|
see what many people don't want to see....but then it's up to us to do something about it. WHAT SHOULD WE think it all means?
One thing...I remember "The only thing to fear is fear itself."
SO fuck you, TERROR THREAT LEVEL ORANGE! I don't fear and I don't buy just to sate my fear for a moment.

I spent time in Sri Lanka and wasn't scared of terrorism. And my people over there are politically connected so the threat was very real. I'll be damned if I'm scared here!
