		<description>That's kind of what happens when you live in a culture where you make yourself feel better with stuff. Where stuff is what indicates success and a happy life. When stuff is *everything* about who we are.  The material made spiritual.</description>

		<description>i don't think the barbie wives should get all the blame.  after all the kens get to play big daddy, and if they didn't get off on that they'd say no.  they're equally to blame for being absolute assholes.  this is what i hate about america more than anything and frankly makes me drool for a major economic meltdown.  (it'll take me, living within my means,  too, but what the hell.)</description>

		<description>We shouldn't judge these people -- after all, they kept the Bush 
economy afloat for six years.  
On 9/12, he told them to go shopping, and they did.</description>

		<description>HAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's exactly what happened to my ex-husband and his second wife.  By the time of the actual divorce (right after the videotapes emerged; don't ask) they had no assets, a giant house bought with a zero-down mortgage, and almost $100,000 in credit card debt.

They're both well-paid, highly-educated professionals.

What a couple of idiots.</description>
