See? Aspirations! I hear what you are saying, and agree that capitalist programming has really stomped that gas pedal of wanting things for so many of us. But I also wonder if it's a bit of a chicken/egg deal here in the western world. As in, there are cautionary fables that go far back in any culture warning about the pitfalls of desire, greed, gluttony. I suspect they exist because we, as a species, tend to want. So it's an easy part of our psyche to exploit. But I am very willing to be proven wrong on that hunch. Now go throw some money at Cameron Falconer!
