To consume and to be consumed

I guess that is the nature of blogging.

No wonder it thrills nowadays.

Just found an interesting title of a journal

Collateral Casualties of Consumerism
Zygmunt Bauman
Journal of Consumer Culture 2007; 7; 25

Abstract. Collateral victims of consumerism are the ‘flawed consumers’ – lacking resources that socially approved consumer activity requires. Collateral damages refer to the new frailty of inter-human bonds resulting from the transfer of consumerist patterns upon relations between humans. Collateral casualties of consumerism are all men and women affected by either of these and thereby confronted by a series of unfamiliar challenges difficult or impossible to cope with.
