extra credit--less well made, but to quote a friend it gets the job done.

If you've already seen all these, kudos to you! and, what did you think?

Hmm... I hate watching a few hours of videos. I will have to admit that I have not heard good things about the last video though. Haven't heard much about the others, but I tend to be skeptical of the anti-consumerist movement and it's economics.

I do wish you would be more specific. What do you mean by the "economics" of the anti-consumerist movement? Economists seem to often defend their work by saying that it doesn't represent a value set, merely a study of how certain things function. Similarly, I venture to suggest that anti-consumerism Does represent a value set, far more than a set of statements on economic function.
