It's about "us" versus "them". Something far more insidious than that people being fat and lazy driving their SUVs blissfully unaware of the consequences of their excess.

its more about "us(newspaper b22 thru 38, article A, row 14+)" versus "them (see newspaper b22 thru 44, article c2, row 3+)"

No such thing as a "culture war."
Commerce is part of our culture, not some mysterious opposing force. Culture is not a process, but ideas -- specifically those that are imitated. (just google "memetics" and "meme theory" for a while) Culture includes commerce, at least for us. Culture is not bought and sold; it spreads more like virus after virus. Commerce is just part of the cultural transaction, if you will.
That Reason link is just rhetorical BS from pseudo-intellectuals... most likely trying to blame the failure of their artistic endeavors on the "system" of "commerce" that's somehow holding them down.
