"Regardless, there are even further ways of helping our society generally, far beyond spending money, that involve elevating your own behavior, doing small things for good wherever you can, being a peaceful influence, and just a more civic/social-minded person. Even people who don't have enough money to donate anywhere, or who can't retro-fit their whole house to run on solar energy, can make valuable contributions just by acting a new way, that this society needs."

Beautiful. So true. Opportunites for that everyday. Bless your aunt. It's striking too how you describe the example she provided you by her behavior.

Also, folks can allow themselves (if they live in an area to have options and choices of where and how to shop) the luxury of NOT going to a business that makes them miserable and giving them money! (btw, I'm in California) Look at how dehumanizing a lot of "normal" consumer experiences are. People hate it but feel forced to do it? By who?

"I agree with the opinion of Lifelong Protester, reply #34, on how we can all do something to help, on some level, and that all of these efforts will lead to a huge change. Everybody's contribution, on whatever level, will improve the whole."

This pResident tells the people "We're at War." Pundits have pointed out that no real sacrifice is being asked of Americans (aside from being constantly scared shitless by the WH and media lackeys). In WWll there was rationing, Victory Gardens, drives for scarce materials, etc....... Made it personal and made it real. How are people being asked to contribute now? Bush comes out amidst this obscene gas gouging and says we have to INCREASE consumption?

The idea of combined contributions improving the whole used to be what our nation was.

"When you think about it, this all becomes a total way of life, a more conscious and conscientious life."
