The selling of our cultural icons: Our cultural, historical, and religious icons have all been co-opted to convince of the goodness of consumer goods that aren't good for us or the planet. Corporations love to sell us peace of mind with images we trust, but mother nature didn't give us margarine, and American Indians are people not mascots. Most of the Pope trinkets they sell at the Vatican are made in China. Coke is not it, and neither is bottled water.
