The World in a Sentence

We are all asleep, brainwashed into docility by TV and consumer culture so that a hand full of manipulators can exploit and dominate us.

Live 8

Live 8 concert avoided Bush bashing and criticism of the war in Iraq.

Another vanity effort by the elite entertainers as Bush and Blair avoid the Downing Street Memos. Thanks Bono, you arrogant asshole. Thanks Will Smith, you corporatized petty-bourgeois Negro. Thanks to all the Gumpified Rappers, Rockers, and Pop idiots who keep dissent watered down.
