A good site for those with materialistic-itis

The Summer has passed and there's not much left to Fall which means that the next season is right around the corner. No, not Winter... the dreaded Holiday Shopping Season. Somehow, I don't think Jesus would be thrilled to have his birthday used by companies to become profitable for the year and for the rest of us to satisfy our material needs. But soon we'll be consumed with the need to buy as outstanding consumers in a capitalistic society.

So on that cheery note... I found a site called ShopWiki (www.shopwiki.com) through an article the "America's Best Young Entrepreneurs". The founder of that company was trying to find unbiased price comparisons whenever he shopped online and when he couldn't he decided to start ShopWiki. Well, I haven't compared any prices but the site also has buying guides and so far their section on HDTVs is the best one that I've read (yes, I too am inflicted with the disease, materialistic-itis).

    Re: Materialism, here's a line from a song by Braindrops (those asian hip hoppers Marissa is friends with) "...far from a wealthy man, homie understand, we all benefit from exploited lands...let's change this sh*t"
