I’m sure you could think of a few other choice descriptions, Tim

In terms of media outlets, here in the UK we are quite lucky our main media outlet while referred to as a corporation is the BBC which while struggling to maintain the lack of cash interest is non profit tax payer funded. Of course at the other end of the spectrum you have BSkyB who own Sky the largest satellite company in the UK and a shares in most other stations and they could only be described as “The Man”.

Yes!! I need the traffic and I need the work, BUT this country is crumbling under this ‘economic system’.

I am just learning the ‘actual’ history and the ‘real’ current events…thanks to independent media such as LinkTV (where I first learned of Dave Gorman), FreeSpeech TV, DemocracyNow!, International News Network (INN), Research TV, and many other stations not promoted by the big corps!!! Check them out online, they provide streaming video just in case you can’t get it on your area’s monopoly tv (visionary?) service.

Basically, we have to get back to the community…buy local…plant local…use less of those products owned by the very few (chemicals, drugs, oil/plastic, etc). Break the programming that we are better off as ‘individuals’ versus as ‘a community’, and all the other programs, such as materialism is good, buy now and pay later, what you don’t know won’t hurt you, ignorance is bliss…

I found this site via a recommendation from Mark Laymon on LinkedIn! Social Networking CAN work IF WE CAN KEEP the Internet out of the hands and control of those few…check out ‘Network Neutrality’ – check out FreePress.Net

I thought Radio 2 was pretty with-it these days Tim – particularly in comparison to enduring the strains of a 16th c. madrigal on Radio 3. But anyway…

Dave Gorman is good isn’t he? It’s a shame he seems to spend all his time on US talkshows these days. I’ll have to have a look at his new book, as I’m interested in finding out which mom & pop oil refinery he relied on for his road trip Old Papa Exxon’s finest sippin’ distillate no doubt.

Love the idea though – stick it to the man, Tim.

@Dennis – thanks for the Sphinn I will of course do a follow up in a while it’s been an interesting few days. I had to change Domain Names after my Mom and Pop registrar turned out to be a front for “The Man”

@Not important who couldn’t be bothered to leave a name and fake Email. This site will accept traffic from all sources and we at Collective Thoughts love StumbleUpon.
