Shopping or Not

As I work my way through Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping, I can't help but pondering the rise of voluntary simplicity and pledges to not shop on the black friday or buy Xmas gifts. And I came to the realization that pledges to buy nothing might just be the new chastity pledges of the left.

On a related note, I failed at buying nothing after a month because I am going on a a trip to Zambia next week. Zambia ... a country where an average person lives on less than $2.50 a day. What kind of first world whore am I?

Yeah, I do it on a little more than $2.50... about $4! Anyway, can you bring that book with you when you come so that little me can read it?

Are you a whore or a pimp? Seems to me that you are a little higher on the food chain than prostitute. Maybe you are a first world john...
