Is the clause ‘Your account can be removed for ANY reason’ by Project Reason reasonable?

Honest question—how would you define a “non-consumerist” model of capitalism?  I’m not being snarky; I just wonder how you define it. 

Second honest question—once defined, would you support that?

Dear Ron Paul Supporters—The Constitution of the United States is 17 pages long. Patting Paul on the head because “he’s actually read the Constitution” isn’t all that impressive.

Lest my discussion thread should become off-topic (I asked a very different question), I put my rationale of rejecting consumerist economic models of Capitalism in an independent thread here

@ Ecurb Noselrub: please check the thread.
@ Bigredfutbaol: I think you will get a partial answer in the above thread. In brief, a non-consumerist economic model of Capitalism will focus on a low energy, low consumption attitude of consumers, encourage consumers to recycle very efficiently (with incentives), put an ethical level of personal consumptions, envision a collaborate and survive principle rather than compete and win.

TO be honest, the entire study of economics disgusts me. I can’t even concentrate on it. I’m just tired of the weak being exploited. Quick, someone call me a Marxist.

Whatever else you want to say about Marx, nobody would have mistaken him for a guy who had a visceral distate for the study of economics.

I am no economist, but there is no point denying it just because of liking/disliking.
