    I've a sneaky feeling, Beth, that your idea of what constitutes
    wealth and leisure isn't the same as for example, a member of  an
    African rain forest tribe,since you(we) are driven by Western
    consumer society values, which place a disproportionately large
    emphasis on material possessions,and conspicuous consumption of
    resources, energised by a global media, and the African rainforest
    dweller isn't...
