Affluenza: An epidemic of overconsumption

Affluenza is another sign of vanity, in our sociopathic and narcissistic society. The economy is supposedly bad, yet we now own more cell phones, I-Pods, lab taps and other expensive electronic gadgets than any generation before. People stand in line (when they should be at their jobs working.) In a Kindle commercial a woman brags that she paid more for a pair of sunglasses than for 139$ Kindle. Is a pair of sun glasses really worth more than 4 $? These sick values of our society is being passed off as being normal. Yet another ad sells us the idea that it is okay for us to get robbed; when a couple discovers everything they own has been stolen but they are only concerned that the thief left them their computer meaning that they need to buy a new computer. This is vanity to it's utlimate dysfunctional extreme. Meanwhile health care reform is in the news, and a night in the hospital in which a doctor does nothing for patient still costs more than a night at the local Holiday Inn, when a doctor does nothing. We are in a lot of trouble...We need to get our priorities straight America! Dare I say that everybody is out of their God damned minds!!! Ever go to Mapquest to get directions, and notice to get the damn thing to work you have to click on Classic Mapquest, or to use Windows XP you have to set the appearance to Classic Windows. Why have classic? Why not just leave things that work has assed right in the first place alone? Consumerism thats why! They think if they do not keep screwing with things to make them newer than nobody will buy the damn things. Why not just one operating system on a computer?  but no they have keep changing it. That's why I am switching to UNIX...and Bill Gates can go to hell for all I care. Facebook is always changing. Facebook is another great joke on us. Woe is us! It is the ultimate social engineering population surveilance tool. It is television with all the fictional nonsense and the God damn lies, that television provided but more! It has marketing and demographic monitoring. Aren't you glad to be a part of the most awesome God damn mind controlling system that the human race has ever invented called the social network; where you are nothing but a node in a network. A dummy terminal on a system of computers sharing information about your pitiful little crazy life. I am glad I logged in to Facebook, I am glad to be on YouTube, I am glad to be another mindless God damn idiot on the blogosphere...So I can say I am good little conformist along with everybody else who is out of their damn minds!!! Meanwhile Big Brother, the almighty powers that be, the government or what person buys and sells information can target me along with everyone of you who uses the damn internet. Aren't we glad to be online? So much better than those who are poor, who don't own gadgets that go online, or are completely computer illiterate. Don't worry, we will join hands together and commit genocide against those who computer illiterate! You know what it our God damn right to destroy the weak, because he are shoppers! We consume! We are affluent! Let's crush the poor who are not online! Go paperless so that elderly people who do not understand technology can hurry up and die! They are not buying cool things any more, let's bury them alive! Let's show em all screwed up and dysfunctional we have become.
