I recently read Hawken’s Blessed Unrest which was focused more on the social justice “movement” (read it to see why I use quotations) as it is happening now. I thought it was hard- hitting with an excellent use of historical facts and figures along with current research.
I plan on watching the Corporation film you recommend. Great post!

I watched this movie. I didn’t want to, because I didn’t expect there to be any suprises – just the standard litany of complaints against corporations.

This “standard litany” is indeed there, as it should be. But there were suprises, at least for me – did you know corporations weaseled into things after the passage of the 14th amendment. (See the movie – they explain it.) Did you know corporations initially were conceived only to be dissolved once the collective goal was reached? (See the movie, they explain it.) Finally, see the movie. It’ll explain stuff. Probably suprise you too.

Consumerism seems to be the underlying cause of many evils including ecological dammage.
What did our president tell everyone to do after 911? He encouraged Americans to “go buy a car,” and “go to the mall.” http://www.prlog.org/10021586-conspicuous-consumption-in-warming-planet.html
I don’t say that to bash anyone, just to prove the point that our lust for things (I am guilty) is what has caused America to go from the largest creditor, to the Largest debtor. (1 Tim 6:10) Check out “Crash Proof” By Schiff…I don’t like his purpose for writing, but he has some great research on America’s addiction to spending.
Great blog, it made me consider my own habits.

Finally! An articulate, astute and moral blogger..one who is well-read, questions but not cynically so, is spiritual (rather than pompous religious) and would be someone I’d want to meet in person. Few bloggers meet the latter deal breaker, I assure you.

Thank you for this blog, K. I look forward to reading it several times per week.
