Continuation of Part 1 explaining how American consumerism came into being and how it enslaves people to there own emotions and desires.

To save your country, quite buying things you don't need now!

1. "There" = "their"

And considering I've been using the same ipod shuffle my wife won for me over 2 years ago and my last few purchases were of equipment to manage the blackberry scourge infesting my yard rather than anything I WANTED (I rarely buy anything merely because I want it. I find that I don't really WANT anything that bad). Even the last major household expenditure was a nearly $800.00 for a cat who'd developed diabetes. We haven't spent that much money on anything since we bought our HE washing machine early last year.

2. Thank you for the correction

I regularly miss that one among a few others.

3. Not a problem...

I catch that stuff all the time. You wouldn't believe how many novels are printed that contain similar mistakes.
