Irrelevant, you observe the day :).

And it's now more than eleven years since those few drinks we had. Wish you could try some of my brandies... this year we got it right.

For most people there's actually no way to step out of the system and not contribute to global exploitation or use any of its benefits without becoming at least a bit complicit in its crimes. Actually there is one way, and that's revolution. Not necessarily a violent one - a massive stepping out of the system would do, but I guess the system would react with violence. Just imagine what would happen if, say, 15% of people started taking every cent they make in cash the same day they got it, keeping a pittance in the bank. My bet is that within three days there would be a way to make that illegal and on day four swat teams would guard ATMs, or the cash would simply not be there anymore.

I can imagine people doing many other perfectly legal things, which, if done in large numbers, would become illegal and/or be met with violence by the system.
