Hehehe good stuff, then again, are books not also subject to the same corrupting influences? It is more a problem of critical reasoning than the tube itself, at least from where I sit.

I think this rant becomes less relevant after about 2002, when people began seeking news from many different sources (the internet). Although still there is progress to be made...
We can only hope that the network(s) don't take over the internet too.

Cure ignorance with religions... can't imagine how that could possibly go wrong.

This is in dire need of a *promote, because of the shit the spinnmeisters on tv just tried to sell me. Despicable, the lot of 'em!

This Rant will always be relevant as long as the world leaders expect us to sit back and take the crap they hand out as greed grows and people are pushed further down the ladder over and over again.

It happened before, It's happening now and will continue to happen in the future. Only the anger of the people, banding and rallying together, can inflict change and fight to defeat corrupt policy and the degrading of the common people.

The internet makes this even more relevant now than it ever was.
Right now, the people sit quiet in their homes, typing at their boxes. Their madness lost in cyber-space when their voice and bodies need to be present in the real world and banding together to effect real change.

The internet is the best thing in the world, only if it is used to actually organize. But who's doing that. Most of us just sit here, privately ranting to each other. which makes us complacent and under control.
