1. Bring your family closer. The extended family has been seriously affected over the last fifty years and even its replacement, the nuclear family, has become isolated. Isolation is one of the goals of the corporate/government coalition and it seems to be working. 2. Get to know your neighbors. A safe neighborhood is preferable to one where people mistrust each other and we will be needing each other sooner than later. 3. Tune out 'official' media, the big boys and anyone who claims to be an 'impartial' observer. If you wish to know whose message they are putting out simply check who their sponsors are. 4. Buy local whenever you can. The only thing corporate America pays attention to is the bottom line. Affect that and you've definitely got their attention. With transnationals the most potent persuader we possess is our purchasing power even if it's taken a serious hit. 5. Capitalism, as practiced today, is really not capitalism at all. Small businesses, which have traditionally been the driving force in American business, are being purposely destroyed with the intention of forcing Americans to do business with global corporations. I'd rather spend my money down the street than across the sea. When I have to avoid investing money because I cannot trust the process and system anymore something is seriously wrong. 6. Begin to address the psychology of consumption. It appears that we all will soon be having to learn how to live with less if we haven't been forced to already. One of the realities Kunstler mentions is that our system is broken and run by thieves. It is - for now. Our main problems do not concern consuming more. They concern our very survival as a nation. The crooks and warmongers are running amok without any consequences. They are throwing away and filling their pockets with our wealth and it is quickly becoming a well established tradition to defraud the very principles which made our nation strong and vibrant. The people practicing this larceny hold us in the deepest contempt and consider us simply marks to be milked. They want it all and are doing anything and everything to get their hands on it. Resist. We are stronger than we realize and it won't be an easy effort to THROW THE BUMS OUT!
