Play, they need to be taught that filing lawsuits is not the trail to refrain misleading piracy. As an selection, it's to skiff something burgeon than piracy. Like unexcited of use. It's lock a a barrel easier to find bromide's nose up at iTunes than to search the Internet with imperil of malware and then crappy high-mindedness, but if people are expected to accord loads and hiccup seeing that ages, it's not lucrative to work. They scarcely be subjected to a nonchalant meanwhile once you can circle curvilinear people invent software and Network sites that interchange it ridiculously indistinct to infringer, and up the quality. If that happens, then there particularize be no stopping piracy. But they're too discreet and horrified of losing. Risks purloin to be light-hearted! cutting tools

Hey Michelle!

Thanks for finding this blog and thanks for your kinds words. Can you tell me more about why you specifically chose chocolate as the thing to boycott? I can imagine many reasons why, but I’m still curious.

Really interesting, well-written post. I love how you said, “They are really big, with lots of joists and struts to hold themselves up…but they are holding themselves up on top of us, the little people, and we are not stable ground!” I think our responsibility as humans is to shake the ground as much as possible, and this we certainly are capable of doing. Just like Britts began to boycott sugar that was made by slaves in order to abolish the trans-Atlantic slave trade, we can make change happen. I recently just decided to not buy chocolate unless it is fair trade. One of those small things that can eventually cause an earthquake under massive monoliths.

Thanks for the references, Kristin. I loved the Telling, though I remember being disappointed by the ending, but don’t remember why.

I put the movie on my netflix queue.

Yeah.

Those at the top are liars, cheats, robbers, and murderers. Expose the lies, and we’re halfway there. Decolonize ourselves.

Tilting at windmills – Don Quixote did inspire social movements, actually.

On defeating capitalism without resorting to economics or warfare: I recommend _The Telling_ by Ursula Le Guin.

On one small person making an impact – the movie _Not One Less_.
