No company will ever do anything but fight tooth and claw for ROI! We can influence ROI with what we buy, where we buy, when we buy, who we buy,why we buy, The ball is in our park! We the consumer already are totally responsible for the greatest force on earth, corporate greed, and the huge staff they employ for ROI gains! Now, influencing the general population to buy green, frugal and sane has not always been the advertisers goal! Given a large campaign of ground roots pressures from the proletariat - that's us! The peons with the purses! the corporations will do as we wish, of go the way of GM to be replaced by competing corporations, like Toyota, Honda and Hyundai! Yes! We are so in control, just poorly organized and misled by the advertising gnomes! Get together, send emails, copy this dissertation, use the net, the cell-phone, gossip, spread the word! We want greem, sane sensible quality, no more planned obsolescence, shoddy workmanship, throw-aways, huge packaging, and processed to death foods! If we tell the corporations what we really want, they will devote themselves to ROI, in getting exactly what we wan right to our front doors! and, in America, thats the way it is! Organize Ladies, Organize! Make Demands, Use your assets! the net, email, cellphones, purse-clasps! Shop til you drop, but buy green only!

I was listening to Amy Goodman (Democracy Now) this morning, and her (conservative) guest noted that in the past, wartime was met with efforts to conserve (Victory Gardens, rationing, and the like). Whereas this time around, our President urged us to go shopping. I'm looking for a group that advocates buying as little as possible as an organized protest against our excessive way of life. Does anyone here know of such a group? Becky and Cheryl, I enjoyed your comments. I try to limit my crafts to personal spiritual items and gifts. Donations to the less fortunate are even more significant gifts. Thanks for that idea, Cheryl. Thank you all.
