...and TV is the primary vehicle of advertising, therefore...


But the really interesting question is what form society will take after mass consumerism has run its course. It's proven to be a failure, but what a spectacular failure it has been: melting the polar ice caps, driving most species to extinction; Famine! Floods! and all for an SUV, a VCR, and night on the town. So what's next? I'm expecting scattered hunter-gatherer societies with a deeply unenlightened outlook, even though there are more worthwhile possibilities. But how does one fight for them?


Oh yeah, LEDs really suck.
