12. There is another way...
...if you are against corporate power, stop buying as much as possible from corporations and spend your money in a way that reflects your values.

That is your only real power, the power in what you purchase.

The rest of the zoo is going to continue unabated. We all like to talk a good game, but then turn around and enrich the very people we rail against.

Don't like corporate TV - turn it off.

Hate the oil companies - consume less energy and try to find renewable sources.

Whenever these boycott lists come out I am amazed at how few corporations I currently buy from. I usually have nothing to boycott because I refuse to fund these a-holes in the first place.

Now if I could just get a few tens of millions of my friends to support me - we may have a real political movement...

The power, is in your purse.
