what can yuo do

[nadinbrzezinski]

Ok many are down and hoping that the electiions can be turend somehow by bbv.org, and I hope they could but I am thinking what else can we do

Ok, think back to oh... 1750, remember those wonderul days when King Goerge the Mad raelly started screwing the colonists over? Well they talked a lot among themselves

Here are soem of the things the colonists did

One thing that the coloniest cuold not do was make hand tools, or any other finished good, as any good mercantizle colony... you export raw material and import finsihed goods (Well with some exceptions such as horse shoes)

So what did our enterperising forefathers do? Yuo guessed it, some started making shovels... and this started hurtign the Empire

Others refused to play along and pay taxes, yuo know that old bit about no taxation, no representation, now this one is not one we can do right at the moment nor woudl I admise it

But we need to find the equivalent of shovels

SO first things first, BOYCOTT any known large entities, Yep Wallamrt comes to mind... gee I wonder why, so does Dell by the way.

Next, find a local community of stores et al that basically agree with yuo, and buy all YOUR basic needs Locally, keep it local folks.

Next for thanksgiving, want to send a message? buy chicken, not turkey, not ham, but chicken. It is cheaper, we truly cannot afford luxury foods and it will be a symbol to the powers that be if enough of us do it thjat turkey has to go on sale lcoally.

Christmas get creative if you absolutely need to give gifts , yuo could make them yourself or find a LOCAL craftsman... but whatever yuo do, do not buy into it... I intend to maybe send letters not cards, to the family, the e-cards though free to me, still pump money in.

Credit cards, GET OUT OF DEBT ASAP, it is healthy and the economy counts on you being on depbt, refuse to play that game.. after yuo do if your card is tied to the MBNA, cancel it and get anotehr one, preferably through a credit union... and pay as you go.

Ask your depresion era parents how to recycle everhingm, and start doign it, yep good for the environment but will reduce YOUR consumption as well.

Oh and before they burn the books, find a good copy of Ghahdi and of Martin Luther King's writings, preferably at a local used bookstore.

More ideas for peaceful resistance will be there.

Oh and remember this, whatever yuo do, KEEP IT LEGAL.
