This is one of the most depressing stories I've read in a while.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/08/16/tech/main781387.shtml
We criticize Iraqi's for setting off bombs defending some ideology that we don't understand, and here we are in America beating each other with folding chairs for a 4-year old used laptop computer.
The people in this country need to abandon the consumer attitude. It's almost like an addiction. We work jobs that we hate to buy junk that we don't need. We buy gas guzzling SUVs that seat 7 even though there's only 3 people in the family, and complain when the price of gas goes up. Don't even get me started on Christmas shopping.

All around that dull gray world
of ideology
People storm the marketplace
and buy up fantasy
The counter-revolution
at the counter of a store
People buy the things they want
and borrow for a little more
