[MD] Where have all the values gone?

[khaled Alkotob]

Let me clarify something here, earlier I blamed the decay on consumerism,
Platt labeled bad.

Maybe the word here should be Over consumerism. After all eating is not
bad, overeating is bad. 

The values immigrants brought with them, were of conservation: Values,
money, spending, indulgence.

So Platt, how about a short list of these values you admire and say are
missing today. I think we are on the same page here, I am just trying to
find out if you agree with ALL the values that those new comers brought
with them or just say the moral and religious ones. That's all.

How would those people view our "
over-indulgence-lets-shop-till-we-drop-max-that-card-out" attitude.
