From: "Juan Cruz" <juancarloscruz-AT-hotmail.com> Subject: the church of the consumer Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 10:50:29 According to Adler most people feel inferior, inferior feelings trigger buying habits. Which is what the firm owners want. The firm owners/rulers of big Mulitnationals are slaves too, but they are a little smarter than the herd (masses, consumers). They take advantage of this inferiority feeling ingrained in the herd mentality which is why they sell a lot, people need to buy all sorts of things in order to feel well, if they dont they would feel un-well, I know there is a lot of things people need. But most people wanna buy more than things they need, it is obvious and this is what maintains the fordism capitalists system of USA. And this is why I think capitalism is not good for people, it makes them fat, un-healthy, lowlife and sick Thanks Juan Carlos "In Sparta, Greece people ate at the common table where the diet was strict. Those who gained weight over their ideal-prime weight were separated from society" -Indro Montanelli (History of The Greeks) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
