I guess I never realized how anti-commercialism my feelings are ..... that and having an aversion to anything smacking of politics, artificial, or not natural and sustainable. Growing up in a rural farming community I was taught to abhor waste, respect nature, and work hard to earn an honest living.
Someone is God blessing the good old USA and all of its commercial glory .... ??????
That is the one thing I would curse rather than bless. Excessive capitalist commercialism is one of the things I dislike most about our country, what I feel is detrimental to our economy. Money being spent for marketing goods and services and TV commercials to excess goes down the drain away without adequate return on investment and sometimes a negative return. It seems that everything we encounter today is some sort of advertising, has a gimmick, a mass marketing come on to entice consumers to buy something regardless of the merit of the product or its affect on the health and future well being of the people in this country: alcohol, tobacco, sugary soft drinks, expensive cars, and anything that just piles up in the landfill after a short life which is non biodegradable and perhaps even hazardous waste. It creates a costly, debt ridden society that is in reality unintelligent, cheap, and superficial!
However, I do like the current political commercial on TV that shows the man digging a hole deeper and deeper and deeper .... right on! Is he a grave digger? Truth hits home!The instant gratification era .... the no time to do it right but always time to do it over. No wonder the value of the American dollar has plummeted downward with no hope of timely recovery.
