Reading Brave New World. Man! Compulsory consumption. Mindnumbing corporate mass entertainment completely devoid of intellectual content. Widespread use or encouragment of sex and drugs to dull the mind and spirit. Job specialization and a rigid class-caste system.

I'm sure glad I don't live in THAT world. In THIS world I can freely talk about how much I despise Christmas, especially the compulsory consumerism involved with the whole season, and not feel like a freak or outcast.
