You know what was often necessitated by native Amerrican diet? Starvation along with early death.
Not too many people lose their teeth when they usually die at the age of 30. There just isn't enough time
Anybody who wants to live like they did here on this continent 1,000 years ago can. Fucking go for it.

Ummm.... no. Ask any anthropologist who studies skeletal remains. Or for that matter, anyone who has lived in the Canadian Arctic (as I have).

Not all Indians lived in the Canadian arctic. They lived all over this beautiful country, and didn't starve to death. Indian society before our arrival was paradise. Tribes took what they needed, showed respect for the wildlife, and lived long happy lives. They didn't go extinct, they got annihilated by a younger, more ignorant society hung up on exploitation and overall bad times.
Your teeth don't go bad if you don't eat a shit ton of refined sugar and meat. There are also plants that exist in nature that can be chewed to keep smiles white for a lifetime.

Yeah so? You don't think they had to deal with it often? What was their average lifespan? Infant mortality?

They did, however, lose teeth. All the time. Early photos show this, as does anthropological evidence. The reason I mentioned the Canadian Arctic is because - at least when I lived there - the Native Americans there were still consuming a diet much more like that of a few centuries ago than the ones you'd likely find on reservations in Arizona or North Dakota today.
People were getting abscesses and losing and breaking teeth and having them wear out completely and suffering untold agonies from impacted wisdom teeth long before there was any refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup available. Hell, it was not uncommon for people to die from an infected tooth. I swear I am not making this up - this is easily checkable. Not just Native Americans, of course, but Australian Aborigines and ancient Greeks and Egyptians and Romans and Celts and Saxons and Burgunds and Gauls and Mongols and Vikings, too. Look it up.

It's not a straw-man, it's just that every time somebody mentions any sort of government program, you always claim that your tax dollars are an important contribution to that program, when in reality, they are a very miniscule contribution--you're not the only rich guy in the US, you know, and there are plenty who are a shit-load more wealthy than you are.

The fact that you seem to think only you know what is necessary for others reveals much about you.
You claiming it is unnecessary does not make it so.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

I was the one that said mansions are not necessary. I know Zappa realizes this because he stated that he does not live in one. I guess luvdemshrooms believes mansions are necessary. 
I do have a tendency to say many material things are not necessary to sustain life. I'm not saying that people should only have the bare necessities and no extras. What I don't understand is why rich people (and middle class people in huge debt) have to live in EXTREME EXCESS of what is necessary. Do people strive to be rich so they can live in extreme excess of others and of what is necessary? Does that make them feel superior? The more stuff I can get rid of, and the more I can simplify my life, the better I feel. I guess I feel sorry for rich people in a way because they need so much.

No shit. Once again you sidestep an argument with pointless irrelevancies. Every time there is another new asinine government program my taxes go up. Never an increase for the bums, leeches and miscreants who benefit. I am paying a significant portion of my income in taxes. Over 50%. What the fuck do the bums pay? Nothing. I pay, the bums don't. It is as simple as that.
Do I ever say that I am the only one paying for the programs? No. In fact, in post after post after post I point out that it is a small percentage of the population that pays, not just me. You lie.

Yep, so what? I pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes every year but because I don't pay 100% of all taxes collected I have no business complaining? Do you have any idea how stupid that is? Every government handout affects me negatively. I can't complain about that? That government entitlement programs create an ever growing class of dependents who rely more and more on my earnings to live, I can't complain about that? Just because I personally don't pay 100% for all of it? I'm going to repeat myself. Just how stupid is that? Irrelevant Poidian drivel.
Finally, there is the fact that the consumption of unnecessary things provides employment for millions of people. Most of them, in fact. If you pared all economic activity down to only that which is absolutely necessary maybe 5% of the population would be employed.

That sounds pretty efficient to me. But what place does efficiency have in modern consumerism.
If it is true, and I really do doubt your number, that it would only take 5 percent of human work to meet the basic needs of all people, I really don't understand why we aren't moving in that direction.
The fact is that the consumerist economy in which we are currently based, serves to the detriment of those who partake and those who do not. The cost for the pursuit of material gain for yourself is your humanity, and at the end of the day the items that you collect fail to bring any true satisfaction. Sill though, like blind rats you continue to horde the world's offerings despite the time lost and stress caused, not just to yourself personally but to the environment and other people as well.
If a social ideal of relieving suffering were replaced with the false promise of happiness through consumerism, I feel that a lot more fulfillment would be reached by all. With such simple and noble goals, people would have a more harmonious relationship with those around them, and new avenues of human development could be more easily discovered and therefore be better nourished.

This is an absurd statement. The consumption of unnecessary things only keeps most people employed as WAGE SLAVES for greedy corporations and institutions. Why don't you just state the truth? The production and consumption of unnecessary shit helps the greedy to become rich and stay rich.

Because it is bullshit. It also employs millons ad millions of people. I realize that you find work to be an inconvenient intrusion on your preferred lifestyle but most people do not.

I certainly don't want to live like you. I want my work to go toward making the world a better place and in the corporate landscape, this is extremely difficult because by in large most corporations are serving needs they invent by exploiting the insecurities of the consumer. The whole system is so completely exploitative on every level that it is impossible to find any sense of self-fulfillment in the corporate job market. The market offers mostly meaningless jobs that serve no real purpose other than making a handful of executives richer.
In place of fulfillment you receive paper which is used to purchase goods and services. Excess paper leads to luxurious purchases. And when you die you are consoled by thoughts like "My tv was pretty big."

Doesn't this make YOU the hypocrit? You never even worked for a corporation because you don't like how they are, but yet you expect other people to work for them without complaints? Did you know that some corporations actually welcome feedback from their employees? That's the kind of corporation I worked for right out of college but that kind of corporation is becoming rare.

You know this is not practical today. Any job seeker is expected to be reachable by phone, to have an e-mail account, and to apply for jobs online. Where I live there are waiting lines to get on the computer at the library.
It's really only in the last few years, after I left a government job as a research scientist, that I noticed just how controlling and dominating corporations have become. My husband had a home and established business here in Texas so it made more sense for me to leave my job than for him to leave his. It's too late for me and many other people to just start homesteading completely. But I don't think it's hypocritical to do partial homesteading and grow some of your own food, heat with firewood and buy as few products from corporations as possible. I think it is fine to buy 2nd hand items. If I would have known when I was reaching adulthood, just how bad corporations would get by the year 2010, I would have planned my life differently. But I didn't have a crystal ball.
