Classic clip!!!! I often say, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!!!"

But no, we haven't learned, haven't changed, since that film came out.

Television seems even more ubiquitous now, if that is even possible. We humans don't evolve anymore, we've stepped out of the classic selective cycles and influence the environment rather than being influenced by it. It's really spooky. It's like we've become the flesh and blood robots of the future that we feared as children.

His performance gives me chills. I know that for myself, I've reached that point.
Small changes every day. It's all I can do for now but it's something.

this is one movie I'll really have to give another try sometime - I just couldn't get into it for some reason, and have always felt this big lack of understanding whenever it's referenced!

Later, after clip.... Wow! great passionate rant!

(well, thirty-two years ago there were no bloggers, so, - writing as one amongst others, I'd say there's been some positive growth! )

I think we're ready for another leap in our social concerns. I think we've maybe made enough tech leaps to keeps us going for a while...now our social advancements need to catch up a little.

hey, we watched that last night! it holds up very well. one might even say presciently. tho william holden looks suspiciously like mike wallace to me.

I don't think we can really expect that a society that grows up on the media is going to suddenly distrust it as much as it ought to. Blogging could be a step forward, or not. It isn't like most of the bloggers we see refrain from cherry-picking and editorializing.
