Black Friday/Buy Nothing Day
Making Light has a good roundup of Wal-Mart Black Friday abuses, but why stop there?
Don’t forget the performance activist Reverend Billy’s question: ”What Would Jesus Buy?” (I have a story along these same lines that predates the Rev, but I’m not gonna hold it against him.)
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
