The Story of Stuff

I think one of the exaggerations she has is that every product we produce is thrown together with deadly toxins - that we dip our pillows in neurally-damaging chemicals only to have our heads light on fire during our slumber. I also have a hard time believing some of her statistics. I get it, a lot of people are getting screwed over, but 200,000 a day are moving to cities - good joke. She seems so critical of every aspect she brings up, never taking on the other side of the argument, thus rendering her own argument invalid. I can't help but find her to be a single-minded advocate of a single cause against a system that just works. For the better, of course not, but it just does - she claims people created the system, meaning the individual humans, but the reality is that society, the construct, the idea, of humans, created it. And Black Friday? Sure, I think it's a great idea for people to get mauled, trampled, even killed for material goods that we're going to complain about and repeat the process a year later - makes complete sense to me.
