Totally fooling themselves. It's just pretentious hipsters being pretentious. Abstinence from consumption is not going to catch on.

no but poverty is - I suspect current policies, economic depression brought about by escalating military costs, and the replacement of the dollar with the Euro may have us all buying used in a yr. or two -

never underestimate the abilities of the powers that be to seriously put us in a depression mentally, spiritually, and economically.

thinking of doing something similar to this myself - think I'll go to the site -
