Angry Why you should be ANGRY

Wallstreet doesn't want the 700billion dollar bailout package.
Bankruptsy because of unpaid medical bills.
700 billion dollars lying around.
unpaid medical bills.
I just read a bit of G's blog
(over my med body)- he's awsome.
What Is Single-Payer? | Animated | Single-Payer: Answers and Facts about Health Care for All
Here's something that also disturbs me: a 90 year old woman shot herself in the chest in a failed suicide attempt (i almost teared up with anger) because they were going to forclose on her house (which looks like crap anyway) thanks the the Fannie and Freddie fiasco.
It's like a snowballing elephant that noone can really ignore.

a reflection of practice that was excercised by ghandi: if only he could display on the world stage the actual image of one body/government/institution taking advantage of the weak and helpless when made public would suffer from the outcry of the public at large; the reason some of the ills of the crisis have persisted for as long as they have is because no one addressed it; John Mccain is of the same ilk... "the fundamentals of the economy of strong" ... so out to lunch.

until it gets boring, or old... and they keep beating it over the head

YouTube - TV the tube in your brain
and/or
YouTube - The tube gives you the gospel

I mean to say, one of the problems i had with the zeitgeist series of films was that it was totally depressing, and I don't know that their facts even check out.
Where to turn when you want objective media reporting of current goings on?! Seriously the only reason i choose to watch msnbc is because of the excellent vocabulary and smart delievery. I'm aware that in being angry i maybe recapitulation the message they put out there, but there comes a time when the reportings have a sence of realness to them and that one should get mad, because then we expect change and resolution. But I love that keith olberman takes rupert murdock to task sometimes- i think it's hillarious actually, being that he owns 3/4 of the media we view (i think, that could be a shaky fact tho).

Well, maybe these networks do the opposite of what you so eloquently quote....feed the soul, starve the ego. They feed the ego and starve the soul

This Zeitgeist movie is insufferable in that it's pathetic. I've watched 15 mins and the only thing I've seen is bad visual effects, a George Carlin joke, and some crazy guy mumbling nonsense in the beginning. And this intro was intertwined with a visual exploitation of violence, most disturbing being 9/11. Convince me I should finish this movie... What is this thing about?
