To consume, or not to consume? This is the question: Whether ’tis Nobler in our minds to suffer The Slings and Arrows of outrageous corporations, Or to withhold our commerce, And by not spending end them?
In a world ruled by Corporations and the government lobbyists they pay for, every day is Black Friday. If you are a consumer, YOU are the one who decides which corporations rule, or not.

1001_Things_To_Do_While_You’re_Dead — An INTERVIEW with Lawrence R. Spencer
BE YOURSELF FOR A CHANGE.
“Relax. As a disembodied spirit you don’t have to hang around with people any more so you don’t have to try to impress anyone. In human society you are usually expected to look good, smell good, be good, do good and exhibit other behavior that may not come naturally to you.
For example, if you don’t take a bath for a few weeks your body will stink like a bag of rotten meat – which is essentially what it is. As a spirit you don’t have to shower, shave, brush your teeth, eat, go to work, pee or perform any of those nasty habits.
The 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860) said, “We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.”
So, forget all that stuff you were taught about “now I’m supposed to…”. Do what pleases you.”
