odd how capitalism is okay on NT only when Apple does well...

(Jan 16 06, 22:17)because people were taught during the second half of last century to rail on either communism or capitalism. and there's only one of those to choose these days.
with so many brands being forced on people, they do one of three things:
1) go live in arcada
2) embrace particular brands as if they were family members so as to alleviate themselves of the stress of constant decision-making. loving a particular brand also makes people feel good as they can identify with whatever perceived values exist. apple achieves this primarily by looking nice and being an underdog; and we are conditioned to believe that underdogs exist only to fight evil.
3) become a typical idiot mass consumer- sit in front of the boob tube and consume fads.
