2. Me too! Mr. Shultz said that this came from junior.

By the way how do you spell Ed's last name?

3. It's an antidote to affluenza

A consumer-empowerment day to say no to consumption. I think it's called 'buy-nothing' day.

4. It is a thoroughly racist initiative sponsored by Americanpatrol.com

They seem to be a bunch of chauvenists obsessed with immigration control, especially where it involves brown skinned people.

5. It's called "Buy Nothing Day"

The idea is to strike a blow to consumerism. I believe it was started by the Media Foundation, which is the group that puts out the magazine Adbusters. I recommend checking it out if you haven't, although the magazine is often times just a whine fest.

Buy Nothing Day is Nov. 29th
the busiest shopping day of the year and
sponsored by Adbusters

this other thing looks like something else
