A video? I'm on dial-up. No video for me.

I saw a t-shirt yesterday though. The front read: Got Freedom?

and the back read: Thank The Army

I'm certain they really can't take all the credit . . .

Hi Zen -- understand you don't want to get on a video link with dial up.

The question is FREEDOM from What ?

How about freedom from some really bad behavior engineered by some really bright PhDs.

How about freedom form nitwits and neocons and war without end.

Freedom from what the establishment want you to do ? Consuming, consenting, be obedient to other folks plans for your life. Curtis discusses freedom from the left perspective and for the first time I heard a precise description of what Marcuse, Laing and some of the other icons were responding to ... it is a brilliant video. Zen I hope you'll find a internet hoop-up where you can see it !

Freedom ?
