Many horrors of injustice of the past were customary, so we must continually question our culture and customs, looking for what we are presently accepting of, that will be future regarded as shortsighted and unthinkable.
Our new community ties are buying-clubs, coupon circles, and discount gatherings. Our rites of passage are smartphone releases.
We have been denatured and raised in hostile and completely artificial environments, where the wound we carry is the absence of deep community bonds.
We are all the new share-croppers working for a roof, food, and our share of the material-goods crop.

We are a material goods and brands, hunter-gather society of hominids standing upright to shop.
We have become a highly specialized species of docile, obedient consumers.
