One metaphor that comes to mind re adverts and marketing and such, goes something like this: If we asked ourselves, what I am hungry for, just for lunch? say… today, maybe we'd think some fresh fruit might taste good. Or whatever else. Left to ourselves without interference, we'd likely go find whatever that is we like, or need.

But say on another day, instead of having even a moment to think things through, we were all bombarded via tv ads, billboards and then in reality… with a smoraasbord. Piles and piles of piles and piles of whipped cream and pastries we dont even remember how to make and would take a week to make anyway; piles of meats and cheeses and five kinds of salads, and seven entrees, et al

A lot of people would not stop, and ask, what do I really hunger for. They'd jump into the stash

Just my two cents worth, but that's how I think marketing/adverts sometimes work… presenting fait' accomplis that interfere with personal and timely considerations, larding people's minds with images, scents, tastes, etc, til, sure enough… there's a market for the 'whatever.'

To me, as I travel, what I see are people longing to have time enough to sit still and think, but the world presses hard on them, whether with care of elderly parents, little kids, ill spouses, two jobs to keep things going, trying to go to school, their own health … much more. At Starbucks, as often as seeing students working, or people chatting quietly, I see people taking lunch on the run. They're not at lunch. They're at a meeting, and grabbing a sandwhich and cup of Joe to take with. The fast food joint, in one way, could be seen as being aligned with working a person crazy, rather than resting a person back into sanity

Most of the small trades people and mom and pop stores where I grew up were conservatives; straight arrows down and up. Most were also as kind as they were sharply tuned. And as bewildered as any so called liberals about deterioration of certain groundnotes in culture.

I dont know if this is germane to the discussion, but I've found in my work in the consulting room, that diagnosing judgement or core values of people by their politics is not a fair measure. There's as many greedy me-me-me types, as you mentioned, in every group and personality type… as there are people who are more considered, or far more considered. Actually the more considered people make up the majority most places/groups, but often they dont talk as loudly as the others who take the spotlight

It's an interesting study Neocon in seeing how groups will sometimes let the least of their tribe speak for them, even though they agree with less than half of what the ranter is saying, because they dont want to be the ones to take the opprobrium that might affect their businesses and families.

It's an old old story, that.

It is reflective of reality. The fast changing world in which conservative, lets go slow, take it easy and think about it values have been replaced by fast cars, fast internet, fast coffee and fast food.

Gotta have it now. When we dont get it now we find something that WILL get it too us now. As the liberals used to say over and over but I have not seen it lately…….the worlds changing……..get over it………..well the worlds changing. All those mom and pops have to get over it.

The difference between Mom and Pop and conservatives is that YES the world might be changing but that does not mean they CAN get over it or that they DO like it.
