this article makes no sense.
1. a dude in advertising dissing consumerism.
2. parents shaking their heads at kids for driving BMW's whereas more than anything its parents that pressure their children to enter lucrative fields and make money.
3. then he cites American slave owners as examples of good conduct.
to me this fence-sitting is exactly the problem!
we don't even see when we're being contradictory in our actions.
he doesnt hide the contradictions, in fact he points u to it several times, in any case is that all you got from the article?
that's absolutely all i got from the article.
there isn't anything i haven't heard on here, before. what worries me, though, is that people (especially "Joburgers") rally up behind statements like this as if they in themselves bring absolution, when this does absolutely nothing except make you feel lofty while you read it at your desk. then you close the window and on you go.
unless you dissect why money and property have become Gods in South Africa you can talk about "unlocking youth potential" all you want and you still won't be saying anything.
this niggas old, too. maybe that's why.
