bad medicine

I saw Naomi Klien on an old Bill Maher today, and her description of what Bush and others in the Republican Party (and to be honest, probably the Democratic Party also) have been doing to America every time there is some sort of disaster rang so true, it's amazing that no one has caught on to this before.

It's also absolutely infuriating.

If you dont feel like watching what I'll admit is a very propagandistic-style film, then try reading this book review from the Guardian. Or google her.

To paraphrase Al Sharpton, "it's all a downer".

Damn..that video just depressed the shit out of moi.

But glad you put it up Dave. Klein is of course right, even if you don't approve of her method of delivery.

The Visual medium will always grab people more than the written word.

Yeah, Dusty, I know, which is why I put it there. But, damn, I hate it that it takes this kind of imagery instead of simple factual delivery to even get people to pay attention. We're stupid damn sheep.

Dave, its the universal 'we' right? Because most bloggers I know are pretty well informed.
