Not only would they buy two cars, but they would post twice and use up twice as many Blogger resources!
Ah, but some of us make a conscious decision not to have children to offset those who do...
Yes, of course, my dear, you are right (a new Grooooover posts here. A powerful woman unafraid to admit you are right on occassion....cringing as she admits it, but unafraid). But most citizens in most countries are not as greedy as my own, at least, that's what I hear from my European and Asian friends who shake their heads at our disposable economies. (But a friend who has lived in Japan for years says it's the same over there... I don't know. Perhaps ethnocentricity abounds everywhere...). And certainly, there are varying levels of consumerism even within this great land of ours. My homeland, Southern California, uses and disposes at a rate that reviles many (although certainly not all) where I live now, in Seattle...But then again, an REI sale certainly brings out consumers en masse. You can get killed by all those SUVs full of carseats and empty Starbucks cups, jockeying for compact spaces in the parking garage.
I think I was going somewhere with this, but I'm lost...
I think we should all be Canadian...those dog sleds and igloos are soooo eco-friendly.
