Disentanglement strategy, part 1
8 11 2004Though I can’t speak for the Democrats in their debates over whether to go further left, right or center, I can speak for myself. And my self is sayin’ to me one thing: go left, young man. And it’s not sayin’ it in terms of taggin’ some graffiti or handin’ out socialist newspapers during rush hour, that’s for youngsters, and it’s valuable in its way.
I’m fighting with the dollar. This is not a new revelation, that in a ‘free’ market you vote with your bucks, but it’s with more conviction that I am settling into it. If the same folks who want to vote for getting fucked by W and company’s neo-fascist agenda are gonna support ‘em by buyin’ their Old Navy crap on credit while suckin’ on a Coke bottle teat, go right ahead. Don’t forget to stop at McDonald’s afterwards, and feed the beast within as you slop the corporate beast, too.
Me, I’m not puttin’ my pennies into it. I am one person, and it does nothing to the market, but it does nothing for me but improve my health, support my local businesses and lessen the amount of time I will have to work. More on this later, mayhap.
