Why is it illegal to burn a Koran but fine for pro-Hamas protesters to destroy a Union Flag? Why is one a "public order offence" and the other not? Because in two-tier Britain the one rule is that you can't upset Muslims.

today = buy nothing day - intl. anti-consumer fest

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday November 29, 2002 11:34author by Ruairi Report this post to the editors

savage the cabbage!

From today's Guardian at http://www.guardian.co.uk/globalisation/story/0,7369,849983,00.html ----------- Good morning. I hope you made that cup of coffee yourself, because today is Buy Nothing Day, an anti-consumerist celebration that appeals to both the very ethical and the very cheap. The 11th annual break from the shops falls the day after Thanksgiving, the US holiday that traditionally sounds a starting gun for an all-out, hedonistic rush to the shops for Christmas goodies. Adbusters, the group behind Buy Nothing Day, want people to stop consuming for 24 hours and consider alternatives to a Christmas that costs money.

enter the shops you are not supposed to think about.
try on the clothing you can not afford.
realise that class is nothing more than the preversion of global intelligence by internalised capitalism to keep us in socio-economic boxes.
The advertising and marketing industry that fit your aspirations and simple smelly "sexyness" into easy to process catagories.
for ideas see
TACT pamphlet.

Everytime the poor remind the rich
that neither $ nor € make you young
beautiful intelligent sexy
the poor win.
