God Bless Us, Everyone..........
and have mercy on the people who are actually trying to support their families by producing and purveying dreaded consumer goods. This grim, and totally non-Christian movement is enough to make this cheapskate go out and buy something just to be contrary. And their logo is really ugly.........
Together, we boycott Christmas Shopping, Christmas decorations, Christmas cards, and every variety of Christmas Crap. We refuse to support the Holiday Industry. We show our love for friends and family by giving our time and care, not by purchasing consumer goods. We maintain the integrity of giving by giving spontaneously and from our hearts, rather than during a specified season.

There are plenty of days throughout the year when I Buy Nothing. Why would I join a movement to buy nothing on one particular day? For the record, I bought nothing on November 29 - except for lunch at Burger King to pay off my little church helpers. Maybe they can sign on for some anti-junk food class action suit - but that will have to be a different story.

Thanks to Religious Left Watch for the link.....
The idea of overconsumption is deeply tied into the philosophy of Malthusianism, which believes that our worldwide economy is a zero-sum system with limited resources which are rapidly vanishing before our eyes. It's not really a zero-sum system, however. Human intelligence, innovation, and economic growth, all produce new inventions which allow more people to live on the planet.
The Malthusianism stopped just a little shy of some pithy comment on decreasing the surplus population.......
