George,

In Al Gore's book, he derides us for wanting "stuff" and sees our need for stuff as a means of escape from our otherwise painful life. I get the sense he thinks he would be doing us all a favor if we had less money and the lessened ability to get more stuff. We would then rape the planet less and have more time to smell the roses. Interesting concept from his aspect, though not from mine. I like to smell the roses but want my stuff with me when I do so. He must have been high when he wrote the book.
