Nation of 'consumers'?
Nation of brain-dead, moronic, selfish, greedy, shallow, loveless, materialistic excuses for a lifeform.

and the thing about fashion. Total crap. Fashion changes each year because people find looking at the same clothes each year dull. So why not change them?

Fashion has been around for hundreds of years before today's economy was around so you can't say this about those fat heels. Fashion has always rotated.

lol I believed your series until this part. I think you are one of those movies that mixes real facts with claims that we can't check so it looks real and trustworthy.

Anyway lol @ the computer part. There isn't a small part that changes each year. That's BS. Computer parts are made compatible so that you can upgrade when new stuff comes out. I have an 8 yr old laptop which is still working.

lol how wrong was that computer thing - unbelievable. There is also old hardware support OS's.

She talks about serious things, and you ignore...If you do not want to read books, see movies, such as `` The Planet... Documentary Part 1 of 9 `` or `` Zeitgeist `` and `` Zeitgeist addendum `` or `` The Age Of Stupid `` or `` THE ZEITGEIST MOVEMENT ORIENTATION PRESENTATION ``
