I thought, after reading the above, I'd post this excerpt from a 
conversation between an author and a ... well. Not sure on that one.  
Anyway:

Q:  You are responsible, then, for the destruction of mankind?
A:  Yes.

Q:  How do you intend to do it?
A:  We are doing it with wealth.

Q:  Please explain.
A:  What you refer to as 'the consumer society' is actually a 
mechanism designed to ensure your proper transition from Pisces to 
Aquarius.  Each transition has such a mechanism.  The last one, 
transferring you from Aires to Pisces, was the idea of the risen man.  
This idea, and the ethics of the gospel, gave you a structure upon 
which could be built a new society.  But that time is past.  The 
society has outlived its usefulness.  It's time for something new.  
This is why the present mechanism is destructive, not constructive.

Q:  The Consumer Society is destroying the planet.  And that's 
intentional?
A:  After the suffering you are about to endure, mankind will never 
again lust after material wealth.  You are about to suffocate in your 
own garbage.

Hmmmmm .....
