Rallying cry for a consumer culture

RE “Acting All Grown up in a Land of ‘Children,’ ” [Jan. 21]: Maybe it’s a little too much caffeine on a Sunday morning, but I’m thinking with quotes like these -- “If we weren’t groomed to be adolescents, we would be terrible consumers. We’d be responsible with our money, we’d buy things that last, we’d insist on quality and we’d spend our time in pursuits that had meaning for us rather than just plugging ourselves into the consumer engine” --

Todd Field is not just a great filmmaker, he just might make a great leader.

Field in ‘08!
