The Plot To Kill Us All

As the atrocities of rich criminals increase,
the tragic American coma intensifies

I remember a childhood board game, in which a magnet beneath the surface pulled around metal shavings into any form you cared to make. It was fun to create faces, and, as I recall, easy to draw the devil, with his pencil-thin mustache and goatee, and pointed horns on top.

And I remember arguing with my father in the late '60s, insisting that money was not the most important thing in life, but that warmth and love and compassion were, and him vehemently disagreeing with me, and shaking his head at what a boob he thought I'd become — a misguided hippie idealist.

Hi! Moghrabi

A long, long time ago, I read a book by Noam Chomsky. It was called "Manufacturing Consent".
Ever since reading that book, I was never able to watch any kind of media without thinking of the book. Honestly.

The government governs with the consent of the People, .... but first of all, the government needs to manufacture that consent.

And, I laughed at your pic "Fool More Years" .... very funny.

RE: The Plot To Kill Us A

Manufacturing Consent is a very important book. It should be required reading by anybody wishing to participate in our society. It should be taught in high school.

Did anybody watch Now with Bill Moyers last night? The first half of the show was dedicated to revealing the extent that the radical right controls the media in US and the tactics they use to maintain that control. I was very informative....and scarier than hell.
