Give a Gift That Matters

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'With today s working-class depression severely restricting the ability of most people to splurge on 'stuff,' and with the public s rising unwillingness to keep shoveling their money at narcissistic corporate profiteers, a return to a more modest, but also deeper, spirit of gift-giving seems to be spreading. Realizing that buying globalized corporate crap is not really a gift, more and more people are putting their money where their values are.'
