And yes could we, would we then be referred to by the media and politicians as "citizens" rather than "consumers"? Wouldn't it revive our dignity if we were addressed as thinking and acting human beings, i.e., citizens, instead of as credit card holding members of the insatiable, stampeding hoard? As Christmas looms and we are implored to Go Shopping, it is the perfect time to just say NO. The economy should be structured in such a way that it serves the people; people should not be forced to serve the economy. Thank you, Nick.
