The WalMart Society

To briefly elaborate on the WalMart Society we live in, the whole 'consumer attitude' in this country is part of a more fundamental problem that goes way beyond politics -- consuming whatever big corps throw at us makes us lazy and unable fend for ourselves in the modern world. Consuming mass produced everything stunts our collective creativity and decreases our productivity in the long run. This problem forces the US population to meet the stereotype that we currently face (US folks are fat and lazy).

I'm worried that much of america has become enslaved to the cheapest, mass-produced solution offered. I love being a part of this society in the past 50 years: Ingenuity and Creativity and Success have been integral to our collective character. I don't want to see it change because we all start buying the same blender at Target and it starts us down the slippery slope of lazy consumerism. Help USians to not lose our creative ingenuity in this mess; buy your blenders elsewhere.
