The big lie is that we live in a free and superior society. I think a more accurate description is that we live in a consumer driven society, where our freedoms have been gladly traded for gadgets and jargon and slogans. We have traded the Bill of Rights for ipods and hybrid vehicles and brown-skinned people we can all agree to despise. We conveniently ignore evidence that we are now in the final stages of the Roman Empire - our dollar is basically good for stuffing pillows and wrapping fish, we feel completely powerless against our ruler/masters, and we are satiated with spectacle rather than outraged by injustice. It's not a positive state of affairs, and we have exported our living on borrowed time to the rest of the world, which is just now awakening to the idea that Wall Street is willing to sell its soul for a few good bonuses, and subject the entire planet to outsized risk if it means a 25-year old Wharton grad can drive a Maybach and lease a Citation X.

Oh yes indeed!!! A socially acceptable solution for this would be worth a thousand Oscar's... made of real gold too! <Hoo><Hoo><Haa>
