Be Careful What You Say



Just a hint : before you export democracy, try having it at home ! Big's special brand is being programed with glee by corpo-media. You're not stupid, they just talk to you that way !

Television:

Books:

the most important book you could read right now would be Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast.Below are books i found to be quite enriching. The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri Sophie's Choice by William Styron The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didioni was tempted originally by these but thought it would be cheating: the complete works of william shakespeare the complete tales and poems of edgar allen poeThe God Delusion by Richard Dawkins is a personal favorite, but not for everyone (non-fiction by the way if you didn't guess)
