Yes I am a big enemy of rampant, gobbling consumerism and the superficiality of it all.

I have not owned a TV since the mid-1990s and cannot bear to listen to advertisements on the TV or the radio. It is the most revolting stuff imaginable all been done getting people to gobble gobble gobble up all of the trash starting with hula hoops and then going to pet rocks and then going to Magic 8 Balls, all the way to things like iPhones at Smartphones at all sorts of sneakers Penn tennis shoes and nonsense Galore
