Admittedly off subject, I have to land on one side of this.  There aren't
many of us who, if we can afford it, don't get what we want.  If you live in
a village in the middle of nowhere and have to get somewhere, you're going
to be mighty happy if you can go by car.  In our country, if you live in an
apartment in a city and have the chance to buy a picket fence etc in the
suburbs, of course that's what you'll go for.  Its human nature and
perfectly natural.

Most of us on this forum have a real choice; we should therefore not poo-poo
those who don't.  This includes the little kids who work 12 hours a day in
factories.  Their standards are quite different from ours.  This attitude is
also the reason we got entangled in Iraq.
