I'm an individual, just like you.

Something I'm thinking about is the way consumer culture both (re)produces and reinforces ideas about the body and the disconnection of mind and body. Would our economy survive if we were more connected persons? How does the lack of a solid bodily identity open individuals to the "private-sector" of body control? How is consumer oriented individualism detrimental to becoming integrated, embodied people?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to outline the items that I believe we are calling necessities:
  • Groceries
  • Transportation (MTA - if we were to get a Zip Car one day that is a different story.)
  • ConEd (Wind Power)
  • Keyspan

Total Spent: $12.62
Total Days: 6

More later - I'm at work.
