Hey guys, welcome back!

On the topic of Chic 'n' Stu - this song just seemed silly to me when I first heard it, but over the years the message has really sunk in. I've come to believe that being saturated in a culture of rampant consumerism is taking a huge toll on us - especially media that tells us "You are sad! You aren't good enough! You are ugly! Here is our solution, buy it!". I think that it is a significant stressor that contributes to depression and anxiety in the Western world.

Do you guys still feel that it's a problem with our culture that we need to work to change? If so, how can I/we do it without sounding anti-capitalist and anti-American? Do you think that it'll EVER change given how powerful human greed is?
