This image says it all. The media plays such a powerful role in the construction of our minds. It is critical that we take responsibility to absorb different elements of the "truth". The photo is one example. I urge you all to visit Patti Durr's excellent blog that chronicles deaf moral entrepreneurs promoting certain important ideas about our current sad state of affairs.
While some of you may (or do not want to) be able to protest, you still can make a difference. If you have a Bank of America account, you may recall that they attempted to start a $5 dollar charge a month for all accounts that you had. GREED. This obviously backfired, now they are taking away that charge, but the audacity and the sheer willingness for them to put their greedy filthy hands in my hard earn money is not acceptable. Show them by closing all accounts and instead join a local credit union. They are more localized. Think of it this way: you feel good about buying food from local farmers (at farmers market) rather than big-chain super grocery stores? You will feel the same about this by joining a credit union. That is one step of many.
Start there, start talking to other people, start realizing that you are one of the 99% Then, you will know what to do.

That is a GREAT poster
ReplyDeleteyep its mighty odd how the tenting and crowds for capitalism are endorsed and allowed but free speech, assembly and press re: political dissent declared illegal in some places!

Agreed on all fronts!
ReplyDeleteThe title of my blog is inspired by Baudrillard's notion of Simulacra and Simulation - a concept that our reality has been replaced with symbols and signs...that our actual minds are simulated by these symbols/signs to make sense of everyday life...that is, a simulation of our reality or the real. This blog is just a small channel of my perception of my reality (i.e. real)...and to warn readers that my reality has been shaped by my upbringing/exposure of symbols/signs which produces my unique knowledge base and will be different from yours, but at least I can share mine and see how they overlap with yours. Confused? ;)

ReplyDeletethanks for the reply and the illumination & overlap
peace,
