Did you ever get the feeling as you read an article or watched a video or documentary about a problem in the world that we live in that "uh oh... this is a bad problem, and I'm part of it?" That's what happened to me as I watched The Story of Stuff. I thought about my mindset about my stuff, especially electronics and gadgets - and how I can't wait to get the latest and greatest - even if it means getting rid of something that is perfectly good. "Planned obsolescense" - just one of the many elements of the story that is disturbing, yet brilliant at the same time! Capitalism isn't without its problems - and as the video would lead me to believe, unless action is taken to shift thinking this way, our future generations will suffer.
