Daniel,
Eloquently questioned, I appreciate your sincerity.
Yes, there is a way of enjoying the benefits of a free market society
without having to live in the soul-sucking techno-culture. It's not that
complicated either, suprisingly. If you don't choose to walk into
McDonalds, you don't ever have to confront the sight of death on a bun
served with a smile again. There is actually a wide world out there
whereby you can live from the earth in simple peace and harmony. The only
trouble is that while most everybody hates our culture, they continually
choose it over more primitive alternatives. So you'd probably be pretty
lonely.
I ask the wider question, why is crap always the most popular choice?
