Unmanacled From The Twits
There are times when I possess the temperament of the rebel. It is at these times that I am prone to jumping on tables at my local establishment and rail upon the wooden soapbox. Likewise, I’m liable to jump on this particular forum here and proselytize on and on.
Tonight will be such a night.
I point you, my dear and loyal readers, to this short article from Adbusters.org. I am of the opinion that we spend quite a lot of time tethered to electronic leashes. Yes, I’m talking about My Face and Twits and all manner of “connectivity” software and gadgets we feel we need to feel like natural, human beens.

I mean, have some balls, ferchrissake!
Secondly, you might have noticed the little graphic to the right for Move To Amend’s We The Corporation. I encourage you to read up and sign the motion.
Thirdly, do become a subscriber to Adbusters. It’s a nifty little machine informed by the need to free us from our pesky consumerist ways.
All of these little suggestions are a means of teaching ourselves to think independently. Sure, I fall into the trap quite a bit. When I drag myself out I’m raging with the zeal of the convert. However, thinking is a fragile yet no less valued commodity. Think. Think. Think!
Let’s close with the customary George Carlin clip highlighting just why this country is so fucked up.
