Hello Kossacks. I haven't written a diary in some time. My mother passed away in July, and my taste for politics and most everything else has been curtailed since then. Grief is a process, and time is what it takes. Some day, I will drink deep again.
By the way, thank you to everyone for the kind sentiments as I was under extreme pressure making sure my mother made the transitions from one stage to the next, until the end.
But I don't want to talk about that today. Today I want to talk about something which I believe is a common thread among progressives, which our desire to be less consumer focused and more community focused.
And with that, I want to share 2 YouTube videos about how unsavory I find Black Friday to be. I don't wish ill, I only wish people make better choices with what they do with resources they do have and not descend......into madness.
Feel free to call me kook, morally self righteous, or a troll. Hell, you can even call me Glenn Beck. (I have heard them all before.) Or just share what's on your mind.
