Guest Stephen Turner Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Do you realise that you live in a madhouse? When millions of the deluded are busy running up hugh debts on credit cards, debts that they will never be able to repay, Governments rejoice, and claim that the economy is "growing" Recessions are likewise claimed to be a thing of the past, when people start spending vast borrowed sums of money on things that they have no real need of, this is euphemistically refered to as consumer confidence. Consumption=growth, and growth is always portrayed as good, whenever wherever however, hence consumption is good, all consumption whenever, wherever however. By the logic of mainstream economics Planet death will be the hight of Human achievement, as it involves the consumption of a whole planet.
