If I lived in NY, I would so NO I don't need a car but I don't I live
in Houston where the public transportation sucks and my boss expects
me at work at 8 am.

>lawnmower,

In certain areas of Houston and surrounding areas yes you need
something to cut your grass as your yard has to look a certain way
according to deed restrictions.  But since I live in an Apartment
there is no need for this.

Since I don't watch TV... nope I don't need one even though I have
one.

>refrigerator,

this one I take exception to as this is a need not a want.  You have
to have some way of storing food so that it will keep.

>cell phone,

Don't own one will never own one.

>or pair of Nike running shows,


Don't own a pair of Nike running shoes don't believe in running
either.  However, if you said a plain ole pair of shoes... I would say
this a need not a want.

Call me a liar but.... a couple of the things you mention are not
wants but needs...

Nothing has changed you don't need an AK47 to go hunting... you might
want but that is different.  I truly don't have a problem with people
wanting things.... I do have a problem when I hear some say I need an
AK47 for hunting when I have killed many deers with my .22 long range
rifle or with my Bow and Arrow -- several years ago when my
grandfather was still alive he had a circa 1790 musket that he took
with him camping and hunting and it was setting next to my .22... I
saw a deer near our camp site and picked up his musket that I had
never shot before and wounded the deer... tracked him for several
miles.  This is the best fun I ever had hunting.

I have feeling that they are going to change here in Texas too.
