            @Geo:

            That's a very balanced view Bertoni

            Do you also subscribe to Non-possession?

            It is one of the principles of Satyagraha that Gandhi also preached.

            If that's the case then I'd be happy to receive your IH gear . . . I think we're about the same size . . .

            Nice try my friend, nice try 😉 I couldn't ever subscribe to a no-possession philosophy…not sure many today could. I do however try and buy products that are local and seasonal (vegetables, fruit and until recently Atelier LaDurance gear!) or made in a non exploitative manner and of high quality (that's what i'm doin hanging around here). I don't buy much but what I do buy tends to respect these criteria where possible (don't rate my chances of finding an ethical, non-exploitative high quality tv!).
            If YOU decide to get all "non-possessional" though (I hear it's VERY rewarding spiritually ;)), please forward your nice threads to my good self 🙂

                What, even those shoddy Ditas and terrible fitting IH shirts, oh and the Mister Freedom jacket you just got which i'm sure looks just atrocious 😉 Come on, just get rid….

                  Feeling you on a lot of things there, bertoni… I have thé most luck with my local veggie/ hippy shop... Fresh (veg) burgers, outrageously heavyweighing sour dough based bread (and tons to choose between), lovely huge chunks of tempeh; the lot...
                  And yeah: I'm trying to get only high quality, ethically made gear in my life... Or just buy the non-ethical stuff 2ndhand...

                      . . . If something is genuinely worth the money then it's genuinely worth having . . . Even a shoddy pair of ditas and some poorly fitting IH shirts (and multiple mister freedom products)

                      And that goes for food and drink too - nothing like a good bottle of wine and some well farmed meat (sorry Seul)

                        I take it said items are keepers then eh mate? Ah well it was worth a shot. I genuinely think people are starting to wake up. The days of Primark and H&M are hopefully numbered as quality makes a comeback 😉

                          sorry dude - i am happy enough to buy IH gear from the forum, but it is highly unlikely I will ever part with what i have now

                          . . . as for the ditas - well they've got me into the trouble i'm in . . . refer to our conversation in that thread . . . so i'll only be adding to the range

                          however - i do agree, we've had a decade or so of cheap consumerism, and i think a lot of folks have learned to figure out what's good and what wants to masquerade as good

                          so i guess getting back to the topic

                                    My frined sent me this today:

                                    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

                                    Theodore Roosevelt.
