We consume the products made by those who produce so they can make money off of our desires to have things we don't need. We are a heard of cattle to be milked for our wealth then discarded once we have no more to give. We are merely a resource to exploit. We are consumers.

When did we stop being customers and start being consumers?
by truthseeker ini really hate the word "consumer" - i see it all the time, in reports, business news, the markets.. consumers aren't consuming, they aren't spending.. a consumer sounds like some brainless automaton whose sole purpose is, well, to consume.
.
in the old days we were customers who made purchases - now we just consume.. does anyone else feel the same way?.

One more thing, if not having a navel was a sign of perfection then Jesus was not perfect since he would've had one. I wonder if Jesus was an innie or an outie.

I actually remember having a discussion about this very subject once while out in service years ago. We determined that no they did not.

SCI FI fans - looking for a story I read 35 yrs ago
by hamsterbait ini read this in a collection i got from the school library.. a man wakes up from cryogenic sleep, to see a painted bust.
he is restrained.. turns out he is the last human, and the robots have attempted to keep him alive by painting a statue so he is not shocked by their appearance.. the lead robot becomes known as "sister.
" the man explains puns, and extends its programming for original thnking.

Patrick Stewart is also in the Dune movie as Gurney. There was a special extended version of the movie that was much better than what they released in the theaters.

I found Jesus in the falls on p 93 live forever book!!
by cultswatter ini always heard comments that there were faces and other objects in the falls on p 93. now i think i have finally confirmed this.
i scanned page 93 using only 300 dpi scanner and did some colour correction and sharpened the image a bit using photoshop .the result is surely jesus and there is also a face of a young kid below jesus.
now i think that the falls image contains a plurality of peoples faces, some people are standing and others just see the face only.. you can clearly make out a gash in jesus forehead.

That's not Jesus, it's Emperor Palpatine.

Yeah, L. Ron Hubbard is the Scientology guy. I got a couple of books from his "Battlefield Earth" series years ago while I was still an active Witness. My Dad told me about the Scientology thing so I didn't get anymore of his books. They weren't that good anyway, from what I remember everything smelled bad in the future, or maybe it was just people, anyway he spent a lot of time explaining how people masked bad smells.

"Second Ending" by James White I think is the book you are looking for.
