I have been watching the news, Wikileaks and Christmas shows recently and in this time of togetherness and goodwill towards man, what on earth are we doing? What do we stand for? Has it really come down to consumerism? Is there still goodwill and peace out there?
How do we fix it? I am only one person. So I thought about it and came up with the idea that if we are indeed gonna be all about consumerism then let's make our freedom to choose where we spend our money stand for something or someone. Don't like what there doing to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange then don't use Visa, Mastercard, Pay Pal and don't buy anything from Amazon....There are still other credit lenders out there and amazon isn't the only online seller. Don't want a war in Korea stop buying Made in China or Made in US, support your local economy and give your neighbour the job. In this day and age nothing is gonna stop the government faster than biting them in the pocketbook...Maybe it's time we used our hard earned money to get what we want and stand for something.
I looked around my house and honestly I do not NEED to buy anything for a long time....I could make do for a good long time. I have what I consider a moderate lifestyle but I am not short on that much....I wonder how long I could go without buying things except groceries?
So Wikileaks is educating us as to what goes on in the world and as an aside is also educating us as to how the government is dealing with the unwanted revelations. You may not believe they are persecuting Julian and you will do nothing. That's fine but I was watching W5 yesterday as well and it was about online gambling which isn't the point here. There was a USA politician on the show who said that although you may not believe the US government is interested in you, you really have no idea of the covert operations they are involved in about people because they do not agree with USA views. Are you one of them? How would you know until you are arrested on your next shopping trip to the USA.
Wanna fund a war in Korea....buy Made in China and Made in the USA. We can change the dynamics of this world without violence...
We are powerful nations and if we stand together we can stop war and persecution and whatever else we choose probably even excess taxation....we just have to use our consumerism to get us there one dollar at a time.
