Things I think are wrong with this country
Good Old Neon replied to bjorn_skurj's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Nope, but I have been raked over the coals on several occasions for behaving and/or responding in ways that others also have, but rarely get called on. Sort of like the way one lets a friend getaway with something they would not ordinarily let a stranger off the hook for -

Do we really want the health of our economy tied to or dependent upon the general poor health of its populace? Look, the one payer system works quite well in Canada, I see no reason to think a similar system could not work just as well here at home. Interesting interview with Warren Buffet this morning on the Today show. Mr. Buffet claims 17% of his income goes towards paying taxes, while the people in his office, his secretary for example, pays out 34% of her income. Mr. Buffet claims he does not employ an accountant, has no tax shelters and simply fills out the same income tax form as the -

Very true, and, like the president said after 9/11 - get back out there and start buying stuff and stuff - it is your patriotic duty. -

And to clarify, I am, in no way, in favor of buying useless shit. That is not and has never been my point.

Cop Shoot Cop, Corporate Protopop lyrics: You're a demanding consumer, And you demand instant gratification. Your needs are our main concern. Let's be honest, As consumers we all have needs and desires. Trouble is, we supress them In nature, as in the business world, Now there are winners and there are losers. But does the predator pity the prey? I don't think so. It's not just unnatural, it's plain unhealthy. Nurture your desires. Cultivate your desires. Let them grow and flower into the blossom that is greed. You see, you are needed. Your greed provides this country With the fertile financ -

Ironically, our entire economy, our entire way of life is now predicated upon you continuing to buy that useless shit, or else, as has been made quite clear, no economy. -
