56. So, you didn't start simplifying on just one day?
You emerged a full-blown anti-consumerist? May I suggest you give folks the grace and space to find out what you already know?

And who is to say what the effect will be before it happens? Suppose for just a moment that folks not rushing heedlessly through the consumerist society for one day stopped, and a bunch of their fellow citizens stopped as well. And they found out the lesson that Nelson Mandela imparted during his inaugural speech, that they are worthwhile, and powerful, and can be a force for change and for good, rather than being helplessly dragged along in the fascist slipstream?

I'd say it's worth taking a chance that people might find that out.
