At any rate, as I said, most conservation and wasteful practices are easy to recognize. We've just become pre-programmed by media and government to not think about them, to embrace and even celebrate the ease at which we can toss the nastiest things into the nearest trash can and thereby forget they ever existed.

That mindset is still prevalent in the American culture, and it's high time to get it out of there.

And who made you the Ubermensch? If you don't like the mindset, don't follow it. I'll back your right to go your own way 110% (with plenty more in reserve). But you don't have the right to tell me how to live my life to meet your standards. And I <deeply> resent the attitude that you do have that right.
