Shopaholic? Me?

On a more unusual note, I thought I would see the otherside of things for a minute. We are living in a material world and sometimes we have to pay for our materialism. For example we used to use asbestos and a side effect of asbestos was mesothelioma. Not a cheap price to pay. Thankfully on the plus side, we have moved leaps and bounds in technology and advancement and can solve most of the issues that we create as a result of our materialism. Thankfully there is money in materialism, which can hopefully go towards our scientists to fix our problems resulting from our keeping up with the Jones.
