Abstract
Choose a fucking big television
Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers...
Choose leisure wear and matching luggage.
Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics.
Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning.
Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing game shows
Stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.
Choose your future. Choose life. (Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting, 1996)
Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist (Kenneth Boulding)
