As population burgeons and resource dwindle, more and more of the so-
called "middle-class" will have the opportunity to experience that --
lucky sods!
This world view is a big reason I left the US. The US has no place for
"voluntary simplicity" -- you're either rich or poor, or trying to be
rich or trying to keep from being poor.
What happened to values like "frugal" and "thrifty"? I guess they were
gone long before, upon the first attack on US soil since Perl Harbor,
the president said, "Go shopping!"
