Media notes; the empire in decline

[Roger Baker]

Here in Austin, the young idealistic out of work dotcom-ers from Dr.
Koop, etc., are starting to show up to do anti-war media work.  Wonderful
energetic young kids willing to sit through stifling long meetings to 
help
drive a silver stake through the heart of "corporate fascism" -- hating 
the
system out of personal experience and instinct ; yet feeling their way
through the darkness toward a better more loving world, if possible.

Meanwhile, here's a good link showing the kind of work they're doing
while mocking the craziness of it all:

Social note: Ghettoite Win Pratt, before he committed suicide after 
taking
peyote, left a note saying "cheer up and make the world a better place 
to live".
Words that I have always remembered exactly as a sort of bittersweet
mantra to live up to, a candle of good intention in the absence of 
religion.
