I am probably going to get hate mail for this, but I had to chuckle when I found the
Freegan.info website. What is a “Freegan”?
“Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed.

But it should actually say:
“Freegans are kids who grew up in suburbia who choose to be pretentious society-hating twits and eat out of dumpsters, until they get worms or food poisoning, or a real street person defends his turf. Freegans embrace community and generosity, which involves your couch, so get some febreze, it really helps. Also get some earplugs so you won’t have to hear them whine about a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed.

Is this thing on?


I love how it’s freegan.info not freegan.com - But some domain speculator snatched that one up, so if you want to get freegan.com for the sheer irony of it, you will have to negotiate with them. They probably have children laboring at keyboards in some dingy basement, looking for domain names to hijack.

THAT BEING SAID - I found the chair I am sitting in next to a dumpster. The arms flip around and will dump you on the floor if you are clumsy, but other than that, it’s very comfortable and was just like new. Plus I didn’t have to go to some exploitative big office supply store that’s trying to keep the man down through the sale of inexpensive paper clips.
