You managed to access this website somehow. You're consuming.

I just dislike the "non-consumer" crap.
The library itelf is a consumer. It's run on taxpayer dollars. So, if the author of the OP is managing to live off charity, the library posting is still the result of conspicuous consuming.

I didn't claim to be Ted Kaczynski. "Non-consumer" is a relative term. Compared to those who feel deprived if they don't buy a new car every year, I'd say it fits.

7. Shopping is how we fight terror. If you don't max our your Visa, you're basically killing Betsy Ross |

Don't forget to buy a Cheeseburger at McDonald's while you're out at the mall. Failing to do so is the same as murdering our brave troops in Iraq. You traitor.
