"Consumption Strike"

I've been thinking about how things are going on.
Our lives are mortgaged. We have to work long hours to be able to buy things we don't really need. We are convinced by ads and the mass media that we won't be happy if we don't own a big car, a big house, the latest computer, mobile phone, designer clothes, perfume, ... But we are selling our time, that is, our life to get these things. And most people can't afford protesting against their working conditions going on strike because their lives are now on the hands of bank managers. No wonder European "politicians" want a 65-hour working week!
I think workers should become aware of their real power nowadays. We are workers but we are also comsumers. Most people cannot afford going on a labour strike but what about a consumption strike? We need a way to show our disagreement to how things are going on. Maybe this is what we shoud do. STOP CONSUMING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull, coming on 22nd May

I really like adventure films and I'm an Indiana Jones fan so I won't miss the new film Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. There will be a difference. I saw the first three Indiana films with my boyfriend and I will see the fourth with my son and daughter. They love Indiana Jones too.
Harrison Ford stars Indiana. He is in his sixties but I'm sure he'll be great as usual. He also starred Han Solo, the tough space pilot in Star Wars.

Henry Walton Jones, Jr., Ph.D.,better known as Indiana Jones or simply Indy, is a fictional professor of archaeology and adventurer and the main protagonist of the Indiana Jones franchise. His films include Raiders of the Lost Ark from 1981, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989 and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. Also, he had a 1992-1993 television series called The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and the theme park attraction Indiana Jones Adventure, which exists in similar forms at Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Jones is notable for his bullwhip, fedora, leather jacket, and fear of snakes.
The Indiana Jones theme was composed by John Williams. He has composed many of the most famous film scores in history, including those for Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, E.T.the Extra-Terrestrial , Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Hook, Schindler's List, and the Harry Potter film series.
