I'am not agree with that
What part do you disagree with?
I was just browsing through these posts, and was caught by the video from this one. I believe the biggest influence in the lives of the American public are the entertainers, the commercialized industry that has said "Bigger is Better" for years now. Without the entertainer, the commericals that advertise something, the entrepreneurs (forgive my spelling) and the engineers would not have anyone to market to; without the help of the entertainers and endorsements from commercials the services would not be portrayed as desirable.
However, with the current state of the economy is it possible that America is straying away from Bigger, and realizing that Better may not be the same?
