“At some point during this decade, people stopped being people and became consumers. The word conjures up an image of a parasite or leech, a ravenous entity existing only to devour. No longer were people simply satisfying needs, they were actively pursuing wants and becoming professional at consuming in the process. Whether it was a big bandwagon or locust mentality, ever increasing numbers of people sought the perfect home with a swimming pool, a piano in the living room, vacations, and second cars.”
