QUOTE http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7262936.stm "89% of adults in the GfK NOP poll of 1,255 people believed today's children are more materialistic than previous generations. UNQUOTE Is it necessary for a person more than 30 pairs of shoes for example? I do not mean to pets …. !!!!!! If dogs were meant to wear clothes and jewels which have 2 legs and not call a dog! All a dog needs a dog wear a muzzle and today – to maintain health and safety when in public is happy CITA http://www.appma.org/press_industrytrends.asp "luxury high-end items to spoil companion animals are indispensable for the owners Pet spare no expense to please their furry, feathered and finned best friends. Items include mink coats for cold weather false starts, feather beds French days for afternoon naps, designer bird cages, botanical fragrances and to top it off, a rhinestone tiara! "UNQUOTE

, Defiant, I remember when I got married we had everything second hand, when they finally were able to replace point by point, the TAT we had, I have a feeling of joy and pride, which is a shame that in the immediacy of modern day people do not have this sense of accomplishment. I think this song partly explains why this culture floursihes: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y2nRYykk6aY
