Don't ya just love when you are reading an article and an aha moment strikes. The conservative egress from the PBS stations, means that we will be seeing the 'free' news media pushing leftward in full response to removal of a net releasing long overdue freedom of speech, just as the right wing political heavyweights are running for their congressional seats next November. Talk about a rally point for the lemmings!
What can you as an individual do? Take interest in the political system now and learn the ropes, so that by 2008 you are a veteran of the political war. Abbie Hoffman said Turn On, Tune In, Drop Howdt. Doctor Lenny says Turn Howdt, Tune On and Drop Kick DC, at least in status = (power + influence) x charisma terms. Run for local govt. positions and make changes that make sense to people who would follow a not very complex, right thing to do populist philosophy.
Join an organization like CUIP or Downsize DC, become an independent thinking voter, read the US Constitution annually and refrain from electing lawyers into the legislative branch of govt. Each of us can make a difference - and we'd better if we want to retain some form of the status quo. But maybe we don't? Hmmm.
