It is good that people around the world are realizing just how much of a scam the powers that be (be it the governments of the multinational corporations) and thus turning to DYI "everything". Having said this, replacing what we've been brainwashed to think we need with something that pretty much does the same thing (albeit DYI) is still not ideal. How about a DYI to living a simpler life...that DYI would be much cheaper.
