>>There are times when i look above and beyond. There are times when i feel you smile upon me, baby<< janet's "together again"

still thinking>>culture jam
I had time to read while at the conference. Kalle Lasn's "Culture Jam" has a lot of good stuff to say. I have to add, however, that some of his suggestions for revolting against the Capitalist machine are somewhat unrealistic >>a bit too eccentric to be accepted and thus won't forge any change. Hell, I'd say i'm pretty progressive >>unfortunately progressive is synonymous with awareness<< and even I couldn't accept some of the stuff he said we should do. No one's going to up and dump their tv's. Most everyone's oblivious to how much advertising/corporations = money affects the world. The question is, how can we keep them open to the truth without being rejected?

paperchase
Most every intern at the conference this past weekend was out to be somebody >>to be a successful CEO, CFO, COO, etc. There were a few motivational speakers encouraging us all, telling us we could live our dreams. Most of the kids cheered everytime the keynote speaker said "money". How terrible would it be if those future C--O's woke up 20 years from now and realized they were unhappy because they'd sacrificed the acquisition of self for the acquisition of wealth. damn, i'm full of cliches today, but i sincerely mean what i'm saying. I'm out to get everything i can out of this world.

>>enrichment is the ultimate goal...money is just the means.
