Religion is just as stupid as rampant wasteful consumerism. Both are selling a product, and you don't need either to live a content and fulfilling life.
We are all victims of the system unfortunately. It is impossible to escape.
Now.. before relying on so-called 'holistic' remedies. Think again. It is just another market for a certain demographic, chock full of scam artists. Not unlike southern 'spiritual healers'. Bullshit. They often peddle crap products or services such as the scam known as 'homeopathy' and other herbal or natural bunk. Why do they come and go so frequently? Because they are fly by night operations.
Another fault is that people are far too lazy to read the fine print. Those that do are often stricken with attention deficit disorder that they can't absorb anything more complex than sesame street language.
The ADD problems are all resulting from being spammed their entire lives by 10 minute segments followed by 30 second commercial blips for another 10 minutes.. back and forth back and forth. Video sites such as this certainly don't help in this regards that much... but at least you have some control over what you see, and can simply block or skip the ads.
I do agree that mass consumerism of a lot of crap made in China is at the heart of the problem.. but China isn't the problem. It is the corporations, as you mentioned, based in the US mostly.. which drive this market. Decades ago products would last a VERY LONG time. Now you are lucky to get a year or two out of the typical low cost imported home appliance. Ultimately that cheap product you keep buying over and over every few years, ends up costing far more in the long run. Corporations like that. It drives the consumerist system.
We are driven by corporate consumerism, and the government is driven by corporations. We feed the corporations cash. The corporations feed the cash to government officials, and as a result control the system.
But.. ultimately who is at fault? We are.. for being stupid enough to follow along like sheep.
bipolar possibly. potentially an alcoholic as well. jail or prosecution isn't going to help. she needs serious psychiatric intervention. The only thing that comes to mind is 'sad'. The child(ren) are caught in the middle.. a child yelled 'stop'.

Torture in the name of Freedom(tm)! God Bless The USA! USA! USA! USA! We're the beacon of fairness, freedom, morality. All those who are contrary to the loving word of JEEEESUS(tm) should be tortured. As they are going to be tortured in the ever hot and flaming realm a few thousand feet below the ground... and we call that Hell(tm). Hell exists you know. Not because I saw it myself. But because a guy in a dress living oh-so-humbly and simply in a huge publicly funded mansion on the backs of the poor told me so. Because he holds a book that has been revised 5000 times by old men told me so.
A mere word is enough proof for me. Just like George W. Bush's proclamation that Iraq was an imminent threat and had massive quantities of WMD and were on the cusp of unleashing an attack against my Oklahoma home town with a population of 53. Proof schmoof. Georgy was a "God Fearing American(TM)" and heck. Anyone who is smart enough to be afraid of a fairy tale... is well... smart enough to run a nation.
I only wish I had such a mentor in my early days, otherwise I'd have been in the field. Living in a near vacuum as far as far as family and my school was concerned, and zero guidance along the way. Eventually I did follow a path along computer science (which is nice), though I occasionally do wish I chose that path. Though I do make up for it by having my own private observatory. So I do get to dabble. Who knows, there is potential to leap into that field to a degree with the background I have. Though, I'll certainly be the mentor to my child that I did not have when I was young.
I like this guy, damn good. Probably one of extremely few who actually gives a shit about the constitution and the rights of the citizenry over corporations.

Or.. he only ate a HALF can of spinach. If he ate the whole can, then both arms would have bust out Popeye style.
