Whatcha' Got?

As I consider the re-adjustments that are already occurring in America I am struck by how we tend to think that we are what we have. Now, I am not saying that we each necessarily view ourselves that way, just each other. We judge each other by the amount and quality of the material possession we possess. Perhaps this should stop if we are ever to become truly civilized.
