Pearl Jam sells out...to Corporate America
Comments (12)Ok, I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan, but the reason why I loved them so much isn't only for the music. They believed in standing up for what they believe in (humanitiarian issues, envionment, government and politics, consumer rights, and against Corporate America and the invasion of the taking away of our civil rights). Yes, I'm a bit radical in my intention of fighting back against the "Man behind the curtain". I believe in people, living simply, and not supporting corporations. I like the little guy and the ma and pop shops. So when I heard that Pearl Jam is exclusively partnering...

Sharing instead of consuming
Comments (4)This article was in my paper the other day, and it really put a smile on my face. Finally, people are going back to sharing things rather than buying individual large items for themselves. This is the mindframe we need to get back to. Or we'll consume ourselves to death.
Neighbors buy, share items to cut costs
People are also swapping vegetables online, checking out cake pans from one library

Are you a Socialist or a Capitalist?
Comments (82)I am so sick of hearing people drag that S word around like it's merely the scum on one's show. SICK TO DEATH. Does everyone know what the word means? How many really do, and I'm not talking about looking it up on the internet and copy/pasting it. If you don't know what the entire definition is, then my suggestion is to not use it, because you're wasting your time and mine.That said, this simple quiz will lead you to discovering where exactly you are in the spectrum.http://www.blogthings.com/areyouasocialistorcapitalistquiz/How do you make out?
