Let's All Go To The Movies IV

Okay, now... some of us, and I certainly include myself, are the Howard Beales* of the world. Some, on the other hand, are neocons. What follows is a sort of two-act play taken from "network."

This is the neocons telling us about the world they want to live in.

This is Howard Beale (us) reacting to it.

Please, listen to the sound on these pages.

*Howard Beale was "the mad prophet of the airwaves" in the movie Network.

I'll explain. The first clip describes the neocon ideal of corprations and their ceo's controlling the world. Companies like Enron, who was one of Bush's best friends and biggest contributors while simultaneously ruining people's lives, or Halliburton, the war profiteers who make their money by the blood of soldier and civilan alike, and who, for example, continued to do business with Iran even when it was prohibited by law. They are imeasurably evil, and they run your life and, judging by what I have read on your blog, obviously control your mind.

The second clip is merely the voice of people like me who are sick and tired of being chewed up and spat out by your neocon heroes.

Does that help shed some light?

Oops, forgot to mention this: about my having freedom of speech... it's a liberal concept. I'll enjoy it and exercise it freely until Bush's "patriot act" deprives me of it.
