2. Consumerism is dying a slow death
I just wonder how you recondition a population that has grown up on consumerism. Lets face it, the daily programing everyone see on the TV and hears on the radio to BUY, BUY, BUY cannot easily be undone within a lifetime. Its taken the powers to be over 30 years to program us into being obedient consumers who don't question why we seem to need to buy useless items.
