'Tis the Season ... to Live It Up

"The Pope asked if this progress really makes human life 'more human' and more 'worthy.' In some areas it does, he replied. But he questioned whether, in the most essential facets of human life, we are becoming truly better, more mature spiritually, more aware of the dignity of our humanity, more responsible, and more open to others, especially the neediest.

John Paul II also asked if, amid material progress, there is a growth of social love, of respect for the rights of others -- or if there is an increase in selfishness. This materialism, he warned, can lead us to becoming slaves of our own products. "

Yeah, I don't like to buy new things. I like to buy lots of old junk.
