What THINGS could you give up to make a new world? [View All]

If the "Occupy" movement were truly to spread, it could, at some point, actually succeed in bringing down the existing social and economic order.

If that happens, most of us(other than the poorest of the poor)would have to make some kinds of material sacrifices in the name of reshaping the world along humane, sustainable, and truly democratic lines.

For a start, what material things could you do without in the name of creating a different world?

For myself, I'd go with

1)The degree of consumer choice that now exists at the grocery store(do we really NEED forty different kinds of vanilla ice cream?).

2)As many new or expensive clothes as middle-class people can afford at this point.

3)Any chance of home ownership(not that I'm likely to own a home anyway, but still).

(I'd suggest that each poster choose three items, as I did, but choose more or less as suits you.)

Just thought this is something people need to be thinking about.
