Not realistic Jeff....our society is too simple-minded...
It is true that if we all stopped buying, it would cause some changes to be made very quickly. However, most Americans are hard-wired to just take whatever corporate America shoves at us. No significant thought is involved,...just dish out the money. After all we NEED this stuff, right?

I've actually seen people at the service window of our local cable company literally begging to have their debt extended so their cable tv service would not be cut off. They obviously had money problems but here they were, asking for an extension on their cable bill. Good God! These are the people that you expect to take control by not buying the crap being shoveled out? Don't hold your breath.

>>If no one buys, they make zilch. And there is nothing that scares those in power more than the loss of money.<<
