Amen! I keep telling people that, and they look at me like I'm some
kind of idiot.

the masses.

To CON the masses, and he's making a bundle doing it.

Mine is to live a low-impact lifestyle and have no
offspring.
- You said that's "sad"
- I said it's sadder that people don't seem to care about the long-
term effects of overconsumption, such as taking regular vactions, when
they could just read up on it or visit local "foreigners"
- You said there's no substitute for a real vacation, which presumably
includes visiting real foreigners
- I mentioned again the possibility of visiting local "foreigners"
after you ignored it
- You failed to see the connection
- There's your problem

My own state keeps me "vacationing" forever ;-)
