Some stats from Mark Driscoll's The Radical Reformission:
In ninety nations, people spend less each year than we in the United States spend on our garbage bags.
Each year more Americans declare bankruptcy than graduate from college.
We have twice as many malls as high schools.
We spend more on shoes, jewelry, and watches than on higher education.
Our supermarkets have 250 percent more items than they did twenty years ago.
Parents spend six hours shopping each week, and forty minutes playing with their children.
Seventy percent of Americans visit a mall each week; that's more than visit houses of worship.
