...or anyone else the author disapproves of, apparently!

As shoppers gear up for the holidays, people around the world are questioning the corporate insistence that we can buy comfort, love, companionship, happiness and community with money...those who question the insistence just don't know where to shop.

Do you have a problem with disapproving of socialists, communists, progressives or liberals?

Well, THAT seems both accurate and something PBS would be most unlikely to say... must read full article.

[Phaedrus]

"...or anyone else the author disapproves of, apparently!"(your quote)

Whats wrong with the author's summation? I dont see any Boy Scouts on that list?

[Grut]

Whats wrong with the author's summation?
