Two Very Different American Women - Which One Is Setting A Good Example For The Rest Of The World?

American Woman #1: She moved from an energy guzzling 1500 square foot home into a solar powered 84 (that's right 84) square foot home.  Now she has no mortgage payment and pays about 6 bucks a month for utilities.  She is very happy with her simpler, easier life:

American Woman #2: She is one of the most famous female television preachers in the history of the United States.  Her "ministry" rakes in millions of dollars every year, she is a best selling author and she has even been on Larry King Live.  She lives a world class lifestyle, but she also donates to causes that she supports.  One of those causes that she supports with thousands of dollars is the presidential campaign of a candidate who supports the open killing of millions of babies through abortion:

So which woman is the better example for the world?

You make the call.

The first and I am a christian btw. The way God intended for humans to live is far from what we are living today. Most people care about material possessions and continue to amass wealth. I know I fit in that catagory also but what can You do. I would love to live in a smalled house with little bills but I am in a relationship and like usual the woman im with does not look at things logically. Oh well I guess I'll get nuked during world war three due to her stupidity.

the "Oh well" attitude isn't helping your situation... have you heard of Earthships... self-sustaining homes that do not need to be even on the grid. I'm sure being a christian you have heard that money is the root of all evil... as true as that is, people do not want to give up their money...

Well I for one am getting out of the system... as soon as my house is built i am disappearing!

It's a tragedy that she had to do that all by herself. If only people who thought like her were more organized!

In a limited sense, her 84-square-foot home is permaculture in action.

What's "permaculture," you ask?

Woman #1 presents the example of frugality and limited needs.

Woman #2 is a Mystery Babylon shill.
