You probably haven't heard of Annie Leonard and her The Story of Stuff. But you will. At least I hope so.
Our president and Congress are falling all over themselves to send us checks for six hundred bucks apiece to "stimulate" our economy because they're afraid we're headed for a (gasp) recession.
The fact is our economy's in much worse shape than that. We should hope a recession's all we're headed for. The six hundred bucks actually will feed the problem, not fix it.
Why is that? Click on the picture at the top of this post and watch Annie Leonard's 20-minute movie. She explains it extremely well.
I found out about Leonard's The Story of Stuff from The Daily Kos. If you have a few minutes, you might want to check it out, too. But whatever you do, I hope you'll take 20 minutes to watch Leonard's movie. And, if it resonates with you, pass it along. You'll be doing the world -- and yourself -- a favor.
That's my two cents' worth. What's yours? -- Jerreigh@contemplayshuns.com
