Very very true. Even though I basically live in hipster central, and despite my desire to not be one, hipsters do good sometimes. I ride a fixed gear bike,and it's pretty sturdy and much easier to fix than some big mountian bike. Plus, farmer's markets are schweet and a must visit for anyone, you can find the best stuff there. Finally, I love my skinny jeans. There, I said it, happy mom? All jokes aside, the more we can do to be our unique and awesome selves while reducing our impact on the environment the better. As cliche as it sounds, we do only have one Earth.

Now don't get me wrong, illegal immigration is an issue, but being heavy-handed fixes nothing. This is a great article in the wake of Alabama's draconian policies fininganyone who even unwittingly employs illegal immigrants as workers. Karma much? The best part is the solutions, especially since Alabama is so right wing. Prisoners as workers? That's government intervention and dangerous! Come on, at least keep your ideology straight.

Before talking about this article, let me clear some stuff up about Nietzche. No, he didn't justify Naziism, that was his sister, yes he did have syphillis, no that didn't make him crazy. That said, Nietzche is one of the most formative authors for the 21st century, providing inspiration to some of the best movies (The Matrix for example) and providing a great example of how we can all undertake a hero's journey to be a superman, Nietzche is a must-read for anyone. As a bonus, you'll finally understand Fight Club.
