    they also dont need their $200 shoes, or their multi million dollar homes, or their $60k cars.

    their $500 clothes sets, their personal shoppers, their $100 hair cuts.

    but hey this is america, the land of capitalism.

    overindulgence is expected here.

    shame we are now the fatest, laziest, most uneducated country in the world but atleast you have that 50" plasma TV right?

    thats all that matters, you have more "stuff" than somebody else.

    build your own version of knoppix with VMWare and a windows VM preinstalled on it.
