You have heard it said, “consumerism is evil” and you despise he who says, “whatever is newer is better,” but verily, verily, I say unto you, what about technology and medicine? For with my Blackberry I work miracles and even many doctors work by the Spirit to grant me good health.
Joseph Schoolland says
I agree that a free market is great (being free to buy what I want and work where I want seems pretty gospelish), and that free markets will encourage technology and medicine more than other economic structures, but the word "consumerism" carries a lot of baggage, like greed and love of money.
Toby says
Thanks, Joseph. And yes, I agree.
