2. interesting comment on American life and issues at the bottom of article:
"A while back, I interviewed a woman in Massachusetts who was, inarguably, strapped. She had lost her $18,000-a-year job several months earlier, and her live-in boyfriend didn't earn much. Health insurance for her and her daughters was out of reach: ''I just punt and hope we're healthy,'' she said. And yet, in her apartment, I beheld the trappings of upper-middle-cl ass comfort. The big-screen TV. The crush of name-brand toys. And outside, the fairly new white SUV--for which she was several months behind on payments.
The tableau was at once absurd and sad--but not altogether surprising. We are, after all, a nation of accomplished spenders, slaves to advertising and status symbolism. The conspicuous fruits of our consumption shout out our aspirations and insecurities.
