New directions in capitalist greed  

Not only can I symapthize with the sentiments in this article, but I have to admit I've actually bought some of the products listed. It's both phenomenal and pathological the range of specialty items there are to be accumulated these days - my latest obessions are with certain collectable first editions at abebooks and the santoku knife, which I'm not even sure I know how I would use... I do, however, know that this is the one I want.
