1. The Social environmental statement should be "Overindulgence,
greed and selfishness".

We can't knock people for being successful if they did it honestly. It is okay to treat oneself if it's not putting a person in debt.

We can't ban everything because people are stupid.

We have lived in a society a "Reaganomics society" that for the last 30 years has promoted living on credit, living beyond one's means, buying bigger is better, change your car every 2 or 3 years, buy a house and sell it in 5 years or less.

We need an attitude adjustment and sadly the economic downturn has forced Americans to look at how they are living their lives.
