The modern American zombie's greatest victim is himself; therefore, the zombie is responsible for his own awakening. The only way to reclaim your humanity is to begin living your life with purpose. The clock is ticking, my friend. Every day we spend undead brings us one day closer to a real death from which our present form will never awaken.

- Wonderful observations,very true.
From the page: "They don't know [why the zombies keep coming to the mall]¦ All they know is that it used to be a very important part of their lives."

- Wake up..From the page "Millions of Americans spend their lives semi-conscious, unable to awaken from the darker version of the American Dream - an endless parade of office buildings, meetings, shopping malls, and television commercials. Instead of pursuing purpose, we pursue material things: plasma televisions, new cars, and granite countertops. We work at jobs we hate so we can buy things we do not need. We exchange our souls for empty production and consumption."

- "The media controls the modern American zombie. We come home to our nice warm houses and plop down on our comfortable sofas, where the single eye of the television flickers in the darkness. Our electronic sorceress orders us out into the world to bring back more of everything: cosmetic surgery, shiny appliances, expensive meals, weight-loss pills, hardwood floors. The messages sent are simple and menacing:
* You are not pretty enough.
* You are not good enough.
* You do not own enough.
We slowly rise from our comfortable sofas and leave the flickering darkness, stumbling into the streets to satiate our hunger. We shamble through the isles of Home Depot and Lowes because our 3-bedroom homes (quite large by global standards) just arenâ€t nice enough. In the harsh lighting of the Gap and Aeropostale, we search for clothing to make us feel better. We shuffle mindlessly through car lots searching for a vehicle to reflect our identity. Are we Ford tough? Are we Lexus smooth? But the zombie has no identity, for the zombie is a shell, identical to all the other shells in Sunday suits with wallets thrust forward, mouths hanging open."

I see, talk to, deal with these American zombies every single day. Some days it takes all I have to not grab them by the shoulders and shake them until they wake up. Yet, I know that the only awakening within them will occur when they WANT TO wake up.
There has to be a magical giant alarm clock somewhere.

- From the page: "College can be wonderful, enlightening. It can help us find satisfying jobs. But all too often, college is a means to an unfulfilling end. This is not because college is bad (it is not), but rather because we are focused on material wealth at the expense of deeper meaning. If you let it, college will process you to death (or undeath), and a million corporations will eat whatâ€s left of you."
