"We all" = the majority of the general public today. It's not a label.

Dennis makes a good point (indeed a number of them, especially about "inner direction", which I will get to later), and has described a trait present in all of us, and that has become worse in recent times due to mass consumerism, which is quite separate from folks just 'getting by'.

Yes, some folks are just getting by, but many others I've seen frequently display the very traits Dennis has mentioned.

She doesn't seem to need any social interaction beyond the cats and me (note the order there!

).

Join the club, Jerry !

However, I'm probably quite gregarious as I play lots of racquet sports. My lady wiffie puts the chickens and moggie, not to mention wildlife in general, before me, so I'm further down the chain that you !

As long as she doesn't put the chickens before the moggie.

I bet most of us find ourselves somewhere down the pecking order. At lunchtime I was parked on Wickes car park, watching a couple of brown rats foraging for seeds, and threw them bits of my ham sandwiches. Anita's lad (who was sat next to me) didn't get any. He's big enough to make his own butties

There's always been total and mutual disinterest between our cats and our chickens.

Mutual disinterest, the key to domestic harmony! Our cat views everything outside the house as predator or prey, and sometimes I even catch her looking at me a bit funny

I'd suggest that people use internet shopping because it is less bother, and often less expensive, than physically going to a shop to buy the item. In other words there is a genuine gain to be had. I don't agree that the rise of internet shopping is a result of internet advertising. It has become popular because it is cheaper and more convenient.

In general I have never been keen on arguments that go along the lines of 'This insidious practice does not affect me because I'm smart, but what about all the stupid people? Something must be done!'

The smart people are not as smart as they think they are and the stupid people are not as stupid as the smart people reckon.

No, you just *think* you are. It's 'playing' you in ways that you've never ever heard of, never mind considered
