8. Well then I guess that will be corrected the next time a deep recession hits.
Then there will be no more idiotic talk about keeping up with the Joneses anymore for any of us. It'll be about finding a way to survive instead. I don't want it to come to that, but it seems to me that the fat of decadence and materialism is burned away in the crucible of poverty because it forces people to recognize what truly is a priority or a necessity vs. a luxury item.

An iPod is a luxury item next to the right to vote.
