>I meant to say that all politicians and all corporate leaders go to church/synagogue/temple yet they all push the CONSUME mantra to the fullest extent possible. The televangelists work very hard to have money sent to them.
It's their job to "push the CONSUME mantra to the fullest extent possible..." as it is your job to do your best at what you do.
I would rather think that we, as smart consumers, are smart enough to make good decisions without being influence by all the marketing hype.
I agree with your general point tho.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
