Hello, Thedoc! There's always a but! ;-) Why do people choose cunsumerism? Was it really a choice? What about marketing, advertising and so on... I don't think people really have a choice... Unless they open their eyes and start understanding what this all is about... I hope that will happen. Happy Easter, Thedoc!

Hello Eyes, I always appreciate a nice butt. People chose consumerism due to lack of education, and those in power, comercially, are useing marketing and advertising to educate consumers to purchase their products. Parents need to educate children to be good shoppers, not just looking for the best price but the best value, from an ethical retailer. In the US 'Walmart' Is an example of a really bad choise. In their quest for lower prices they are driving production overseas thereby destroying the base for the market they are selling in. If the american market fails they will move to other markets as they have no interest in preserving the us economy, only is leaching profits for as long as possible. A sound economy is baised on production, distribution, and sales all within the same economic area. When that cycle is disrupted the economy will suffer.
