The New Ten Commandments?

Thou shalt consume, consume, consume.
Thou shalt not think.
Thou shalt watch crap on TV.
Thou shalt eat crap (and like it).
Thou shalt feel inadequate.
Thou shalt hate others.
Thou shalt feel helpless.
Thou shalt only think of thyself.
Thou shalt feel superior to nature.
Thou shalt see fear as true and love as false.

Bugger that!
