Ever heard the term? I hadn't till the other night when I watched a show on it. Seems people are dropping off the radar and pilfering through trash cans for food and clothing. These are not bums. Many are quite educated and are doing it to save the environment and leave a smaller "footprint" on the earth. The ultimate recyclers some profess. I tried to picture myself doing this but I kinda like wearing a big boot and leaving my mark on the world. What do ya'll think of this? Do you know anyone who is like this? Myself, I have a relative who is a bum. Not in the sense that you might think. He is actually rich enough to burn a wet mule with hundred dollar bills but grew tired of the rat race and cashed in his chips. Now he wanders the roads. Every now and then we will get a post card from some neat place letting us know he is still rambling. Not for me. But he seems happy so I guess this is all that matters.
In trying to find more info on Freeganism I found this site. Seems the gov't is wanting to get involved with it to to "help out". Might just be a guilt offering on their part.

Though the link is ficticious, there are many more on web that are not. Others just don't make for as enjoyable reading. ;-)
