In this cesspool of media that we are exposed to ever increasingly here on MySpace, on TV, on billboards, in magazines, in newspapers (now turned rags), on the radio waves and in our workplaces & Schools, remember that there are people who would rather your play online games, buy a bunch of crap you DON'T NEED and continue a monotonous dialog of the latest Hollywood "Celebs" to DISTRACT YOU FROM WHAT IS REAL.
The fact remains that these Corporate Entities don't care what you do as long as you don't get involved in their political maneuvers.
The truth is you only have to eat, drink, get some sleep and maintain a body temperature of about 98 degrees.
The overwhelming Corporate Sponsorship and blatant presence at both the DNC & the RNC was/is appalling.

"It’s like we’re forgetting the public sphere." stated Rep.
Dennis Kucinich
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH: One of the enduring problems of our political system, whether it’s about Democrats or Republicans, is the role of corporations in the political process. We have a real problem in America, where corporations have infiltrated our political process so seriously that they’re putting labels on all of us. There’s not one on me, but I can say that when I go to my own Ohio delegation, and I see “Dominion” on everything—and that’s a natural gas company that’s jacking up everybody’s rates, and they need the support of a state administration to do it—don’t think that I don’t understand what that’s about. We’re in the Pepsi Arena. Obama is going to give his acceptance in Invesco Stadium. What’s this about? It’s like we’re forgetting the public sphere.
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH: So, you know, a lot of us aren’t going to be particularly satisfied, but so what? You know, the voters made their choice in the primaries. You’ve got to respect that choice. And what I’m going to be doing here, tomorrow, at the convention, is to talk about the economy and look at those issues around which we can be united. Be certain that under a Democratic administration, if that administration is showing aggressive tendencies or is putting us on the edge of a war again or not taking us into a direction of peace, I am not going to be quiet. I mean, I’m going to continue to talk about the direction America should go in. But we can’t let those differences that we have right now cause us to fracture at a time that we really have to bring a change to the White House.
Conventions are not private events in a Democracy.
They just are NOT. This is not HUMANWINE's opinion.
This is not a ploy to get you to vote for McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden.
This is not a Political Statement.
This is a Public Service Announcement.
The Press and the public (around 840 people) on several instances were whisked away by rented thugs with no name badges or identification. These were people sending in "troops" with no name badges so they would not be held accountable for what they were about to do and boy did the EVER DO IT.
I Witness Video is an organization that equips people planning on attending marches/demonstrations/protests or other lawful acts backed by our RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE. The cameras are turned on for the duration and turned in at the end of the day. These tapes are carefully scoured armed with time/date to assure exactly the time and day of any particular offense either by and officer or a civilian.
The New York City Police Department has been ordered to pay out 1,000's of dollars already to people grossly mistreated by these cops who think they won't be held accountable but video is very damaging testimony and almost always wins.
I Witness Video's Site reads...
all Freemen ... have a Right publicly to remonstrate the Abuses of Power, in the strongest Terms, to put their Neighbors upon their Guard, against the Craft or open Violence of Men in Authority, and to assert with Courage the Sense they have of the Blessings of Liberty - Andrew Hamilton, from his 1735 defense of John Peter Zenger, in a
landmark trial which helped to establish the principle of freedom of the press in America.
THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS THIS:
WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS?
Independent Media and You
BUT if you are suffering from overload and become easily distracted by the aforementioned Corporate distractions that only play on your insecurities and force you to make a fool of yourself by not only "following trends" but also explicitly screw yourself by keeping yourself OUT OF A DIALOG ABOUT REAL CURRENT EVENTS.
It IS cool to care.
Please seek alternate media outlets during this coup to destroy the great nation and ultimately the whole Earth with it's Arrogant, short-sighted Corporate Decision Making.
Deforestation was not done BY you but watch what you BUY, you may support it just by what you eat.
Like the nerves in our body so is the whole Earth connected and we're just plain shitting all over it.
We care, so we sing/write/act out about it. We're not alone, thankfully we were inspired to carry on a long tradition of Questioners who have worked their whole lives for the next generation to enjoy a safer, cleaner, more peaceful Earth to inhabit.
The Corporate Sponsors of both conventions paid for that security to keep our words and opinions barred from the convention, a political convention, a public convention.
This is a direct action against the public by the corporate.
The Corporate legs grow every time WE buy their crap, that we don't need, which only enslaves us in the end. Wrapped in a noose that we bought because it was on sale.
word.
