Change the World

I have said it 10,000 times -- but it (I believe) is worth repeating

change what you buy . . . and from whom you buy it

and you change the world

is it "cute" I buy from thrift stores -- or a statement about recycling and supporting efforts to help the less fortunate

is it weird I gave my car away . . . or a statement about the impact of cars and the mad pursuit of oil on our precious environment

am I looney for NEVER going to doctors -- choosing to "train my mind" so as not to get "too sick"

or a statement not only about the power of the individual but a rejection of the "industry" that seduced our trained healers

and replaced the Hippocratic Oath with a pledge of allegiance to greed

think about what you NEED . . . support local grocers, local artists

buy a painting and not a print at Walmart . . . my $3 jackets truly rock

and at 9 cents a piece I can buy a lot of shirts . . . so do I need to go to the mall to get one that makes me "trendy" for 3 months ??

perhaps not

think for yourselves -- don't be a slave to what you're told

make choices -- change the world
