There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist. -- Ayn Rand

That quote effectively describes hippies who think that by not shopping at Wal-Mart they’re making some sort of profound social statement. Also, rabid Apple fanatics. And I say that as someone who avoids Wal-Mart and uses Macs exclusively. The difference is that I’m just doing what’s in my best interests — I’m not trying to slaughter myself on the altar of societal betterment like so many doe-eyed Leftists.
