Black Friday and Rev. BillyBy borges, Section The Marketplace
Today is Black Friday, the busiest shopping day in the US, and also Buy Nothing Day for those who think consumerism needs a bit of a push back. So let us return to the teachings of Rev. Billy of the StopShopping Church. Here is a nice clip by Amy Goodman from last year about the release of his film, "What Would Jesus Buy?" Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Part 3 of 3 And a short clip from a Glenn Beck interview...I'm thinking Beck doesn't quite get it...and a long clip...his Hour of Power
Wasn't quite sure if this belonged in Templum, Philosopher's Corner or Marketplace...sort of an anti-Marketplace piece.
