Simple living is my desperate cry.
Its not that there is a giant conspiracy in which the bourgeoisie try to keep everyone down-working and buying, constantly consuming beyond their means. There are just a lot of greedy, powerful people out there that want your money, and they are smarter than you. They don't put you in the situation that forces you to work so that you can afford to live. You are just so concerned with consuming that you pass up on LIVING. The irony is that the very freedom we so boisterously enjoy gives us all the choices in the world, and it is the very idea of being presented with choices that does us in. Lexus or Mercedes? Gucci or Prada? McDonalds or Burger King? The shopping mall is full of choices, Wal-Mart has endless aisles of choices, but the best choice is one that is not advertised on billboards. It's not on your expensive satellite or cable tv. It's not covered on your favorite corporate owned news channel. It's definitely not advertised on the commercials during your favorite corporate sponsored sporting event.
It's the best choice that no one ever told you about. Choose nothing.
Not only is it good for the planet, it keeps you from having to fight crowds and wait in long lines. The best part about it though? It's free...and you can be too.
