(no subject)
I was just sitting around thinking when I came to the conclusion that I am really getting tired of all of this anti-consumerism propaganda. Don't get me wrong, I am all for living lightly on this earth and not making your mark in a landfill, however it seems to me that every single one of these campaigns about how we should use less stuff and buy less stuff is either printed on a shirt, book, or magazine that someone wants you to in fact, BUY! This sends a mixed signal to me and to the world. Should we only consume less of some things? Clothes, books, magazines are ok to keep on consuming but we should consume less food and shelter? I'm confused by the notion that we should consume more things that we don't really need but less of the things that are actually vital to our human survival.
