  Alan Archibald: The capitalist milieu has succeeded in replacing responsible citizenship with consumerism and the dependable consolations of purchaseable pleasure. Citizens who formerly honored "The General Welfare," "The Common Good" and a "Social Contract" have become Consumer Units focused on ego-centered acquisition.

Bush conflating "doing business" with good citizenship while simultaneously urging Americans to "shop," reveals the secular religion's unrelenting focus on the centrality of The Golden Calf. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4552776/user-clip-bush-shopping-quote Uncle Sam's Ministry of Truth makes no mention of consumptive capitalism's unsustainability nor its demonstrable suicidality.
