We are more than just consumers.

Recently I've found myself thoroughly disgusted, and all together through with the vapid consumerism that seems to plague our society as a whole. Whether it be the overly manipulative commercials that uses catchy tunes, flashy colors, or your favorite celebrity to get into your head and convince you to buy things you absolutely do not need; or if it's a Saturday afternoon and you're desperately trying to merge onto the beltline exit but find it almost impossible because there's a line of cars trying to enter the mall thus blocking up the entrance ramp.

I'm sick of it, but I haven't elevated myself to the point of actively doing something about it yet. At least nothing so brilliant and light-hearted as this...

Maybe it isn't necessary to walk around with picket signs or even make angry blog posts. Maybe it's just a matter of carrying a megaphone, a message and a smile, and just appealing to the better nature of other people. Just making them aware of their actions is where it needs to begin. Sure about 95% of them will just carry on with their shopping trip... But even if you only effect that minuscule 5%, that's something isn't it?
