Well, with the way we've become, even that 10% is becoming obsoletely used. and then theres the wonderful G.O.V which now makes decisions for us on how and when people should do this or do that.
No thinking involved in your life,  Big Brother will care for it. |
While many of the people around us may excuse themselves from thinking anymore, you and I and many other North Americans who live in the same situation have consciously chosen to NOT live that way. Even in the midst of all this consumerism bullshit, people can wake up to the truth and start changing. We are examples of that.
I think those of us who are "awake" should spread our message to all the consumer zombies out there... because that population ISN'T happier being consumers than being accountable. Money doesn't equal happiness and there is much satisfaction to be gained from doing things for ourselves, opening our minds to new ideas, and being the productive people we are fully capable of becoming.
