Minnie,
I've started reading
Con$umed and wanted to thank you again for mentioning it. Bill Moyers did an interview with the author and I was amazed at how it tied together so many of what I'd viewed as disparate concerns:
turning children into consumers, bottled water, alternative energy, PTA, Wal-Mart, citizenship, public transportation, school vouchers, debt to China, poverty, terrorism, immigration and corporate bailouts.
The amazing thing is that the interview was from a year ago but so much is applicable to our current situation.
