The Limits of American Power

(...)
"Our foreign policy is something that is concocted in Washington, D.C., but it reflects the perceptions of our political elite about what we the people want," he told Moyers. "And what we want, by and large is... this continuing flow of very cheap consumer goods. We want to be able to pump gas into our cars regardless of how big they may happen to be... And we want to be able to do these things without having to think about whether or not the books are balanced at the end of the month, or the end of the fiscal year."
(...)
 

Question I ask myself periodically & I believe I might even have asked it here a couple of times, much to the disgust of some. Should we not at least feel a little shamed by this consumer terrorist attitude of ours that has us ranking as one of the most wasteful nations on earth...? If we at least felt some shame might we not make more concerted efforts to change that pathological attitude...? Or does the shame interfere with our 24/7 goodtimes baby ensuring that we take every precaution not to feel it...?

/just a thought.

good article by the way

whenever I see this thread in the raft I just think of the Star Wars films. OK, think I'd better go and be silly somewhere else, don't mind me

That's better than what I thought:

"Same thing we do every night, Pinky: PLAN TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"
