Good stuff. Your mother was on the right track. Modern marketing favours the lazy, the unobservant, and the convenience-addicted personality...and in fact is based on promoting and encouraging addiction in every way possible. Why? Just for money. And that is why it is said that "the love for money is the root of all evil". Imagine a creature inventing a mere tool to make life more convenient, and then falling in love with that tool and becoming a slave to it! That is what has happened with human beings and money in the last few thousand years. It didn't start to happen in North America until after 1492 (approximately).

Anyone out there reading Adbusters?
