So Much For Stopping Sarah
She's become a celebrity in the last year and a half. She has been interviewed on countless news programs, written a book and gone on a book tour. She tried to get one job, failed, and quit the job she already had. She sparks debate amongst Americans, draws criticism and sharps lines of division, but paints herself as a hockey mom that drives herself to work. Our differing views on whether or not Sarah Palin is the anti-Christ or the only one that can save our country, is beside the point. The point being that this someone from the middle of nowhere has become a phenomenon not only in the political world, but also in pop culture- a notion that many would be hard pressed to challenge.

Freeganism: Dumpster-Diving Rebels Opt Of Economy
An option out of capitalism, freeganism, or freeganomics, strives to be the ultimate boycott to society's expectations. It's a philosophy whose roots stem from the basic concept of eating for no cost and toning down people's glutinous habits. However, it doesn't stop there.
