agreed that we all need to consume less, but overconsumption is a
mechanism for driving the economy. We have little manufacturing left
in developed nations and the economy is driven by a debt based
consumerism. We have been brainwashed into thinking we must keep
buying stuff, and it's ok to get into debt to do so. A debt driven
consumer based economy is very much a capitalist conservative
movement.

Great, now define "the old days." When exactly were they? 'Cuz so far,
the most you've defined it as is vaguely sometimes before the Industrial
Revolution. Yeah, great old days those were. :P
