I have been harassed by "Them" on myspace.... because In my bulletins I played Alice N chains, which is dark music. They banned my account from using bulletins. They said I was not worthy of the Lord. WTF?

Hedges is great, if you haven't already you should read his amazing book War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning. Powerful, powerful stuff - kind of a hard look at why we, as humans, can't seem to escape our disturbing lust as a species for war.

Ooooooooo

I like the guy who hosts this show.. He's a good guy, imo.

Another great book from Hedges is "Empire of Illusions: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle". I drank every pages of that modern anti-bible with every bit of attention I am capable of.

"Remarkable, bracing and highly moral, Empire of Illusion is Hedges' lament for his nation."
— Maclean's

"Each chapter of Empire of Illusion makes a strong case for how different illusions — of literacy, love, wisdom, happiness — taken together are destroying the American mind, culture and the nation itself."
— National Post

"Each chapter torches one of our cultural illusions."
— The Globe and Mail

"Hedges is a fan of big ideas, and in Empire of Illusion, he draws upon the culture of professional wrestling and pornography, the elite university, positive psychology and the financial crisis to fashion a social theory of everything."
— Winnipeg Free Press --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

You can read the first chapter right from Amazon. A great way to discover that author.
