Of course, what a person will buy depends a great deal on what a person has been lead to believe about the values and effects of a commodity. It wouldn't be so bad if it were fertilizer they were dropping, but it's toxic sludge they rain on us. And they seethe their privileged rage at our inability to thrive in it. The mode of abiding in this commode of providing is based on the hypnotic deciding allowed within the stench of presiding law manipulators. Poetry in commotion.
Tokens are everything.
We are an anal retentive culture in the most and least Freudian sense of the term. We are compulsive, obstreperous to learning and true knowledge, resistant to whatever might advance us past our follies, embracing of our images, our idols, our totems of our pretensions to ownership of this moment as unique in all eternity. Before us are all gods. We shall have none lord over us, save the god of our desires. And so we are slaves to the dirt, to which we will sacrifice our being.
