Capitalism lulled us into a false sense of comfort, bought off our Congressmen and Presidents so 95% of us don't have a say. Our vote doesn't matter to the corporation. The rich 1% have the same amount of money as the 99% of the rest of us. There is a vast disconnnect between the wealthy and the poor. The middle class is vanishing in America as homes are foreclosed. We are reverting back to a time before the creation of Worker's Unions, a time where industrialization undermined the poor with horrible working conditions. Only this time the labor does not take place on American soil. Our hands are soaked with the blood and sweat of those in third world countries who make our products for us.

Our lives are part and parcel of the corporate machine.

The Decline of America has already begun. If we do not act now as a people, corporations will continue to buy out the government. Do you like oil companies and health care corporations writing your laws? It is not enough to boycott a product to undermine the corporate industrial complex. It is now time for a revolution against corporations, a revolution in America that brings Democracy back into the frey. We must refuse to participate in the current economy and work within an economy that is ethical. This new economy will be created by the people for the people. This manual seeks to answer this question: How can we begin to rebuild our fine nation?

LiveWithoutDeadTime.info is an online resource about a way of life beyond consumerism. Part meta-manual and practical manual, this website features content created by those who are disenfrancished with the current sociopolitical climate in the Western World. It's no use complaining any longer. We need a solid plan of action. If you are an Artist, Designer, Photographer, Writer, or someone who is interested you can shape how the postconsumer manual looks and feels. Email us your ideas.
