Alternative media On a soap box at the Vancouver Art Gallery For one to become the voice of a new generation, they would have to sacrifice all we know as life in a corporate world. Furthermore, when a person speaks out, people are indoctrinated to shoot down any ideas contrary to those of the TV. The governing bodies of the world are not stupid, they have raised a generation of human beings to eat whatever the TV sells, to want whatever the TV wants you to want and worst of all, to shut off critical thought. A plan to wake people up from their fast-food-media comatose would have to be very well thought up and implemented with the finesse of a pro table tennis player :) Any suggestions?? RAF thesilentmasses,

Alternative media

On a soap box at the Vancouver Art Gallery

For one to become the voice of a new generation, they would have to sacrifice all we know as life in a corporate world.

I feel alternative journalism has to grow. People need to start talking and turn off the TV. The world of today is no accident. Many very smart people worked a long time to anesthetize us from they way things could be. A world where the lower income bracket lives a life in which growth can occur, not a life stunted by debt cycles and a severe lack of critical thought. It's all about waking up the people around you. Talk to them. Drink coffee or water or whatever, and chat it up. Ask you family and friends why the world is the way it is in their opinion. Share the knowledge you learn from alternative media and remember not to force it. Share the truth and it'll catch on. Non-violent talking, writing and listening... Three simple skills that will change the world. To use a cliche…. time will tell…

Some brilliantly motivating orator who can mobilize the knowing and verbally bitch slap and wake up the nescient's.
