Attention
You are important

Your country needs you
Without you your government and your country as you know it would cease to exist.
You live in an economic society
An economic society needs two things to perpetuate itself. It needs you and your dollar. This is why you will never find an economic society such as ours institute any encouragement regarding population control. Although nearly every environmental problem stems from overpopulation, large, rolling economic societies such as ours needs people, and once it reaches a certain point, alot of them to sustain itself and keep growing. The burdens modern man places on the land and its resources is simply not sustainable. Our modern lifestyle is nothing less than gluttonous. Modern man has a sense that he has a "right" to expect the highest quality of life available. The roots of this phenomenon I believe originate in the modern translation of Christianity. There are few provisions taught to the general public regarding care of our natural systems. Americans are not encouraged to think about any other component of the ecosystem but ourselves. Just because we are human does not give us the right to rape the land to afford us a high quality of life. This lifestyle standard is being pursued by not only the 300 million Americans, but every nation we infect with our western economic-based principles. Theses principles devalue any original culture, religion and tradition. The goal of an economic society is persuade the populous to consume. You must be brainwashed into believing that this western "look" is necessary, this habit of eating quick, unhealthy meals is great, etc. If globalization is successful the world's children will be Gap kids, overweight, ignorant to history, geography, deficient in math and science, prominent in slang terminology, expert video gaming drones.
The economic society must by definition conflict with physical, moral, emotional, spiritual and environmental health as it currently exists. The economic society needs fuel. The fuel is consumerism. Economic health is gauged by economic growth. For an economy to grow it must be perpetually expanding. This expansion includes: manufacturing, industrial output, new home construction and sales and the spectrum of consumer spending. Consumer spending encompasses everything from car sales to retail. So for an economy to expand You must be buying new homes, cars, clothes, records, walmart junk, etc. But what happens when people do not need a new car, new clothes that new pop song? Well, thats where the genius of marketing comes in. The economic monsters henchmen, marketers, are brainwashing you, the economic fuel, to think that the clothes on your back are "out of style" 4 times a year then you will perpetually buy. This trick is especially effective on children, since the economic masterminds began the practice of ensuring "the kid who is out of style or does not fit into immediate pop culture is teased and made to feel inadequate". Why do you think cars change shape every year or so? You, the fuel, are brainwashed to feel envy towards the man next to you in a sleeker, sexier automobile. Marketing is effective in this way. Young adult fuel are brainwashed on the idea that you are not "cool" unless you have a sexxy ride. Older adult fuel are brainwashed on the idea that a very large SUV will proclaim your personal status in the economic society.
There is a direct relationship to the size of the population and the size of the economy. The economy cannot grow itself. It perpetually needs You, the fuel. Once the economy begins to expand, getting larger, it requires more fuel to sustain itself and to grow. This new fuel will need to come from new consumers. The future of the economy relies completely on having a sustainable fuel source. Now, you are an adequate fuel source for today but to satisfy the economic beasts appetite later you need to reproduce and train your baby fuel to behave appropriately. The economic beast is relying on you to brainwash your baby fuel to believe that its whims are its needs and it wants are its necessities. You must reinforce to your baby fuel that it will feel inadequate wearing last seasons clothes by perpetually buying them at the onset of every season. You must show your baby fuel its status in society by buying and rejoycing in all things new and sexy. You must train your baby fuel to believe that the Jonses must never be as good as you, revel in the spirit of economic competition.
This is your duty, as an american. You must give your life in this cause. Work 40-60 hrs. a week for 65 years and in that time play your part, contribute. Show your patriotism. You are fuel and if your are not then you are not american. BUY, accumulate, waste, throw away and BUY again for you are a patriot, you are american.
