Try to buy a hybrid car ... you must be some wacked out tree hugger. My parents have actually looked at me like I had a third eye or something when I say I try to always buy organic. They think I'm an absolute mutant for not shopping at Wal-Mart. People truly go through life just plopping down their dollars and not thinking in the slightest what it is going for or how the thing they are buying ended up in that store.dbackdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700991588554336491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882105.post-1158935531953307282006-09-22T07:32:00.000-07:002006-09-22T07:32:00.000-07:00Not 'buying' into consumerism is questioning the v...Not 'buying' into consumerism is questioning the very basis of Capitalism and is, in some peoples view points, a bad move.

We all know it can't last forever but we are too afraid (or too brainwashed) to even *think* about what we are doing.CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882105.post-1158926875360399962006-09-22T05:07:00.000-07:002006-09-22T05:07:00.000-07:00Why would anyone care if someone, or even a group ...Why would anyone care if someone, or even a group of people, swore off new stuff? Seriously - who cares!? We have been brainwashed into being good little consumers. Anyone who does not buy into that (no pun intended) is labeled as deviant.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129109937230440481noreply@blogger.com
