This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for the Occupy movement; it is giving me hope again.  And this “Black Friday”, as per my tradition, I am not buying a damn thing.  I will not let my political will or the value of my societal contribution be reduced to merely being a consumer.  It will take more than buying shit to fix our country and all of us have more to contribute than just consuming another flat screen.  Happy Thanksgiving and no-buying-stuff Friday to everyone.
