	cadence 'n savor dah subtle flavors ah environ-
	mental rape!

	Yum yum!
	Eat yerself ta oblivion, butt jes
	don't belch dis waaaaaaaaay . . .


Soo:     This satire does no good. How does cynicism make the world budder?

Philyra: Well, isn't the author pointing out that mass consumerism is unsustainable?

Andrei:  (shaking his head) Mere prattling! This guy is too spineless!

Philyra: Far from it – the author is trying to constructively work with rage. Too many 
         people gloss over their anger. We must learn how to use it productively to promote change.
