I'm not even sure what it's up to.<BR/><BR/>The simplification movement will likely become something of its own, instead of just a reaction to larger forces ( if it hasn't already), and then really get interesting.Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762279210783841414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10166090.post-77224331954238747922007-12-14T09:42:00.000-08:002007-12-14T09:42:00.000-08:00I was just going to say there's probably some kind...I was just going to say there's probably some kind of guerrilla movement going on or about to happen.<BR/><BR/>I'm also thinking that maybe the anti-affluenza, reducing your carbon footprint, slow-food slow-life simplification movement might actually amount to something. <BR/><BR/>why do your commenter thingy keep changing?
