Amazon.com. That way you take advantage of the deals and avoid the crowds. I love that you think I'm becoming a greenie tree hugger hippie. That's almost sweet. I'm actually approaching the issue of materialism and more broadly world-lism from a Christian perspective. No one will take something from this world when they die. I'm still conservative. Just not an automaton for one political or cultural way of thinking. Joel Awesome. Amazon.com. That way you take advantage of the deals and avoid the crowds.

Wow, we're on a roll. Keep saying nice things about me and we'll get on better and better! Who knows, we might just stop having stuff to debate? Or maybe not. But seriously, though culture of materialism is perverse, especially on Black Friday, you actually sound like a super-tree-hugging-liberal when you say you abstain from purchasing stuff... and I love it! The greenie websites call it "buy nothing day": http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/november-2008-green-challenge-buy-nothing-day/ If you're becoming a greenie tree hugger then our podcast will get more confusing... before long people won't know who is left and who is right! My confession is that I did buy stuff on Black Friday... but I didn't even leave my couch! Amazon.com was my best friend and I found a few deals on a few other sites too! No lines, no shoving or pushing... gotta love that! justin Joel, I agree with you again! Wow, we’re on a roll. Keep saying nice things about me and we’ll get on better and better!
