Rev sez:
Shopping brings the wind, the flood and the fire.
Shopping brings luxury condos, NYU and chain stores.
We can't help but notice the symmetry - waves from the avenging Earth and waves of retail mono-culture. Both waves hypnotize us, and are directed by the same Devil. Call him Bush or call him Bush's Christ or call him Bush's Christ's Daddy with the big Hummer – it all comes down to our own Shopping.
And please support:
BOREAL FOREST ACTION WITH THE CHURCH OF STOP SHOPPING
Catalog retailers mail out around 17 BILLION catalogs a year, that's 59 CATALOGS for every Man Woman and Child in the United States, and almost NONE of it contains recycled content. Every year 8 MILLION TONS of trees (much of it virgin) go into catalogs that are often DISCARDED UNREAD.
