CRACK FRIDAY WITH REVEREND BILLY TALEN
Dec. 7, 2014, 10:21 a.m.
While many people celebrate family togetherness on Turkey Day,
what's wrong with "Thanksgiving" Weekend?
Many people over-indulge in food while others are starving.
Many people don't even acknowledge the genocide and slavery which are the foundation of the USA.
Many people go out of their ways on the next day to mow down their neighbors for a few bucks off cheap consumer crap.
Heard on local Sacramento news: "Some stores only open on Black Friday morning to respect the 'sanctity' of Black Friday."
"Sanctity" of Black Friday!
We are told that shopping is our patriotic duty and along with football and war, our state religion.
Some are addicted to the temporary high of acquisition and become slaves to debt for this addiction.
That's why this Crack Friday Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox presents
Rev. Billy Talen of the Church of Stop Shopping
TOPICS: Materialism, Monsanto, Ferguson
(among others)

Driven to distraction by Delâs annoying personal habits, Neal is unable to pry himself away from his OVER BEARINGLY, OVERLY TALKATIVE companion, but as more storms hit, and the path home begins to narrow â Neal soon realizes that heâs in for a ride that will test his patience, his priorities and may just change his idea of who he is. Released in (1987), The film marked a widely noticed change in the repertoire of John Hughes. It was greeted with critical acclaim upon release, (a revelation in that Hughes was considered a teen angst filmmaker). The movie was also hailed for its performances, especially Candy, whos lack of an Oscar nomination for the role is still regarded as one of the great snubs.
