Man, I hate to say it, but I think that would take an entire cultural overall. If there is an area where other cultures have us beat, and a lot of cultures have us beat on this issue, it's being satisfied. We've created a culture where we're never satisfied with anything. We're the ultimate consumers, always wanting more.

I think you said it all. It seems like most people here want more and more and this is part of the financial problem people get into when they go into hock to buy more and more. I'm reminded of a children's book I read as a kid where the kid was so hungry, he just ate and ate, never being satisfied and he ended up eating the whole Universe. I have nothing against a consumer driven economy or culture but when it becomes pathological, it does cause a lot of problems, especially when you combine it with the "only me" mentality and "I want it now" thinking.
