FRONTLINE-ONLINE

Being the news and documentary junkie I am, I'm quick to share this source of information. W-5 also has numerous docs on line as well as Witness. Why do I go on ranting about the need for change? I'm not sure ... but one thing is certain, if one person somewhere out there in this new digital medium opens up to just one new idea...

James Joyce stated that "all social changes are the effect of new technologies...(and McLuhan continued), that guarantees that every major technical innovation will so disturb our inner lives that wars necessarily result as misbegotten efforts to recover old images."
McLuhan & Fiore in War and Peace in the Global Village 1968

"The natural mind is intrinsicly beautiful, buoyant, free, and tranquil. This is our pure original being, which existed before we saw ourself as self, before we percieved others, and before we started to think others were the source of our pleasure and our suffering."
Lama Surya Das - Awakening The Buddha Within 1997

Thought of the day - Economic alienation is resulting in obligatory subjugation.
