I would love to see our country defined by different values than just the "we're the richest country in the world with the biggest military". Let's stop the glorification of recreational shopping and conspicuous consumption. We're destroying our planet, the more we have the less content we are and our relationships have never been worse because we're all so busy chasing the next shiny object. We are propping the oligarchs up with our daily purchasing of crap we don't need, sometimes can't afford, and tire of in a short period of time.
