I stumbled upon the notion of the freegan way of life whilst perusing BoingBoing today, and it gave me immense pause. Voluntary joblessness? Dumpster diving? Really? This is what the freegans advocate? I understand their philosophical stance and I can't say that I disagree with it - American society is probably the most wasteful civilization in history - but this seems a bit too over-the-top. What say you, my loyal army of readers?
Cory Doctorow's proposal for Ninja Airlines, on the other hand...now there's a beautiful idea. Extreme? Yes. But how cool would it be to be transported to your destination by ninjas? I'm pretty sure that even if the plane was only staffed by ninjas, there wouldn't be any terrorist activity because you'd never know when you'd get a bag of peanuts on your tray or a throwing star in the jugular.
Now that's security. And for all you link-hounds out there, here's a link to the original post from BoingBoing on freegan options for in-flight meals from whence this hyar post was derived.
