6/08/2004 G8 Summit begins today Well, no real surprise that very few activists turned out for the G8 summit, and I think it has little to do with the overwhelming, aggressive and ridiculous police state that has been established there. To me it would seem there is a fundamental lack of concern among American youth. Having been involved in activism for some time now my frustration has only grown with the docile, complacent nature that the fat, white, middle-class youth of this country are known for. Fighting is seen as a real difficulty, while watching TV and accepting the reality as crafted by corporate news networks, is easy and pleasant. Disgusted? You betcha. It's even more frustrating that the staples of whatever sort of movement exists in this country are also failing. There's hardly anything on indymedia, Atlanta Indymedia, (which as of this posting has crashed) and very little on infoshop. San Francisco Indymedia has been reporting actions that are occurring there (big surprise considering the liberal bastion that that city is). And Enemy Combatant Radio has been covering those events. If anyone gets any good updates about the situation in GA, especially if they actually magically become organized to do something, please email me! It's very simple, just push the little button over there on the right that says EMAIL ME. Also... Another Eulogy for Ronnie Raygun
