>re: travel and entertainment is not one of life's necessities neither are steak, chicken, lobster, toilet paper, SUVs, TVs, rockets to space, streaming movies, fireworks... and yet the production and consumption of these things carry personal and societal risks. who are we to judge, unfortunately? >re: have not received any value from a large corporation? I think what the poster is saying there is that he receives value from smaller individual landlords and from large corporations- -but that they would prefer if it went to individual landlords because they might be a better steward to the community than a corporation

> toilet paper I'd like to dispute that one. Hygiene is certainly one of life's necessities if we want to share this planet with 7 billion other people.

  Haha yeah I agree too, but there are a lot of ways to clean yourself adequately and safely without specifically using toilet paper. Some ways that come to mind include pressurized water, sanitary wipes, other ways that could result in a physical and bacterial clean etc Western toilet paper is just but one way to achieve hygiene and could therefore be considered replaceable by something else
