To consume or not to consume…

In my newspaper today I read that 3 people in China were killed in a supermarket. Trampled to death by their fellow customers, all eager to be the first to benefit from the sales that were going on. Wow. Must have been some amazing discounts there, I thought. Well, amazing certainly! Canned cooking oil at 20% discount, picture that! That’s surely worth some lives…

To consume or not to consume, that’s the question. At least, so it appears to be at present. Especially with Christmas coming up again, peoples’ minds are set to ‘buy’ again, more more more, visually molested by flashy advertisements, brainwashed with an all defying urge to own more stuff.

Sometimes I seriously consider emigrating. The only point is: where to? Let’s hope we’ll find some nice extraterrestrial species somewhere soon..
