PROPAGANDA
"Quite literally, it means that virtually everything the average person sees or hears, outside of her own personal communications, is determined by the interests of private, unaccountable executives"Day after day, the egalitarian creed of our Declaration of Independence is trampled underfoot by hired experts and sloganeers, who speak of the “death tax,” “the ownership society,” “the culture of life,” “the liberal assault on God and family,” “compassionate conservatism,” “weak on terrorism,” “the end of history,” “the clash of civilizations,” “no child left behind.” They have even managed to turn the escalation of a failed war into a “surge,” as if it were a current of electricity through a wire, instead of blood spurting from the ruptured vein of a soldier.

DV, not on topic but what is the point of the pic down below on the right of the black man with the white women?? Been wondering!?
Robyn, you are a little young, ;-} so you probably don't recognize Jim Brown and Raquel Welch.
Point of the photo?
You tell me. What thoughts does it provoke in your head?
Stop calling me young.... I thought the chick looked familiar, dude didnt ring any bells.
The pic called forth "why." Which is why I asked.
Great Post DV. Just finished reading the latest biography of Jim Brown. A really interesting man who continues to work in and for the Black community.
Thanks Damien. What was the name of the Jim Brown biography? I find this man extremely interesting as well, and I feel his story has never really been told. He strikes me as one of those rare individuals who has been simultaneously unapologetically black and unapologetically male.
Did you see the Spike Lee documentary?
