"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

I went to Target today. I needed to get something for my cousin's wedding. I wanted to get her the vise grip that was on the registry, but it wasn't there so I settled on the needle-nose pliers and ABS level instead. Whoo-hoo tools.
I also needed to spend the money my grandmother gave me for Easter on something that I could tell her about. I decided that I need a lamp, not so much anymore now but rather for the four remaining times in my life that I'll have to study for finals. It was a bear moving the lamp between the bed and the desk all the time.
I also bought a blacklightbulb and a martini shaker in two separate fits of nonthrift. The martini shaker cost $10 and looks huge, like big enough for several martinis. I really don't know why I got it.
Also, don't you all read Robin's article and then skip over the site that did the survey. There's some exciting stuff there that might have been a better investment than a martini shaker. If only shipping from Britain wasn't so expensive.
