Jim, I applaud your view of the USA consumer culture and your desire to 
leave it behind.  I suspect that, like Tina, I'll be rooted in the states 
for a while by those who mean the most to me, my kids and  grandkids, but 
this doesn't mean I have to fully participate in the consumer culture.  The 
average US resident consumes far more than is good for him and he works too 
hard to afford all the pointless stuff he buys.  What a ridiculous way of 
life.
