Even the common street bum is P.C. these days...
"Freegans" are a group of people who are homeless, they say, by choice.
"Everything I eat comes from dumpsters," Ash Falkingham says. "For me it's a logical lifestyle choice. It's such a natural thing to use up that waste."
Freeganism is described as "a total boycott of an economic system where the profit motive has eclipsed ethical considerations."
According to the Freegan website (I'm not sure how they have one... Unless they're running it from a library or something.) , Freeganism seeks to avoid "the purchase of products from one bad company only to support another, we avoid buying anything to the greatest degree we are able."
"Our priority is to work for love to make the world a better place, and we want to have more time to do that. The less time we spend chasing a salary, the more time we have to do what we really believe in."
Uh-huh. Sounds more like they just don't want to hold a job to me, and rather than be ashamed that they are worthless, they are trying to make society accept them as a "lifestyle choice." They aren't bums, you see... We're just wasteful and they're taking care of that waste... Kind of like the fish that sticks to the side of an aquarium.
Riiiiiight.
