Capitalism run amok

[jain]

I've been participating in a spate of rampant consumerism, lately. First concert tickets, then a book and two movies (Buffalo Gals and Other Animal Presences by Ursula Le Guin and "'N Sync: Making the Tour" and "A Night Out with the Backstreet Boys"), and I've just now bought a Backstreet Boys Got Milk? poster on ebay.

I'm normally very frugal--I walk fifty minutes to work rather than pay for a train ticket--so all of this spending has me a bit unsettled. At least the book and movies were on sale.
