If that's what it takes to get the message out, then so be it! It absolutely made me stop and think about the choices I make.

Shame I'm in the minority.

It's too bad. It gets him attention at least, but I think more people are just gawking at how odd he acts instead of really listening to his message. Too bad because we ALL NEED TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE AND TAKE IT TO HEART. Our over-spending has helped get us into the recession we're in now. It's not ALL the government's/banker's/elite's fault. Do your darn best not to go further into debt this year everyone, and happy holidays with your loved ones.THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR THE HOLIDAYS BESIDES SHOP ~ Go look at Christmas lights ~ Go ice skating, or play in the snow ~ Sing carols together or other seasonal songs ~ Go to a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm together ~ Make Christmas ornaments with recycled stuff, give some as gifts ~ Make cookies together and give some away ~ Go to see the Nutcracker or A Christmas Carol at a local amateur theater ~ Don't watch commercial TV, rent and watch some great holiday movies (I recommend White Christmas), and vow to get away from obnoxious ads, especially if you have kids ~ Volunteer as a family at a homeless shelter, nursing home, or animal shelter ~ Make home made gift tags with recycled papers and old cards - try pinking shears for the edges, and don't forget the glitter, ribbons, buttons, googly eyes, rick rack...get busy with it and have fun ~ Take a cooking class, a knitting class, a candle making class, a woodworking class - something creative and productive ~ Look to nature for gift trims and decorations - acorns and small pine cones and greenery to deck your halls, walls, and gifts ~ Pop loads of popcorn and string it with cranberries on dental floss, while listening to Christmas music, then decorate the tree with your garlands :) ~ Make a Christmas scrap book - either a real one, or you can make some really cute ones online with pics you upload. Those are easy to share with faraway friends and family, too ~ Play charades, board games, or card games - games like Pictionary will have you laughing your heads off ~ Make silhouettes - put a lamp behind a family member so they cast a shadow on the wall. Hang a piece of paper at the right height and have the person stand so their shadow is in profile on it. Trace their outline, then cut it out and glue it to a contrasting piece of paper. Hang on the wall or add to scrapbook. it's fun to have a whole family gallery of these :) ~ Make hand made recipe books, candles, soap, cookies, muffins, sock puppets, ANYTHING handmade as gifts instead of buying, wherever possible ~ Knit quick and easy winter scarves out of yarn bought at thrift stores ~ Present the kids with a dress-up box of fun/funny clothes, hats, shoes, scarves, and costume jewelry. Ask them to come up with a skit using the clothes.It's all about being with the people you love and making memories with them, not about going broke and paying it off for the rest of the year.

I’m still alive to talk about it; I am a better person for it; and (most importantly), this is a healthier planet for it. Of course, it is Friday night, and (once again), I have found myself TOTALLY ALONE, not to mention the fact that I haven’t been laid in a year, because NOT ONE PERSON I know has joined me in my save-the-planet dive into radical voluntary simplicity (or non-radical voluntary simplicity, for that matter.) If any of this piques your interest, come find me on Youtube at Humptydumptytribe, and let’s talk.

I'm grateful to this group for their courage and unique way of getting the message out there.I hope it can be viewed on main stream T.V. soon....since it is convincing and inspiring and not complicated . Our consumerism is hurting people , harming the planet and we're not even made happier doing it..... This documentary is valuable because once one knows the suffering that went into making the products available to us we can realize the price may be cheap .... but the cost in misery too high.

The priest talking about his anger towards the police, "exorcising" a Walmart sign and speaking much non-sense such as "change-aluyah" and some other craziness about mickey mouse... it's a waste of time and money. There's no need to go and attack places, but there is a need, though, to teach each individual who feels the need for truth. At no point he preached a biblical verse as if it wasn't necessary. May God bless them with whatever they're lacking as well as the rest of us.
