Penn. sounds dreamy though I too have enjoyed cowpie smell in the day. I was surprised after I became a scooterist to see how little transportation I really needed as opposed to what the TV said I needed. I ride the subway most of the time. Good for you. If everybody reduced their consumption we could all breathe a little easier (some pun, eh?). Adios!

The forces of consumer-driven capitalism will become more subtle and powerful at the same time. They recognize the fundamental needs that are not met in individuals and market their wares like a drug dealer with promises of feeling better….

Grasshopper, to avoid conflict do not contend. Then there can be not conflict.

Translation: Stay out of the mall…

This idea of simplifying our lives is going to gain traction in the coming years. It’s already well underway.

I wonder how the forces of marketing and consumer-driven capitalism are going to try to counter it? Should make for an interesting conflict.

Ride well,
