Ethan is making a lot of sense...

"One thing seems certain: the democratic process is not
making it happen. The next revolution will not involve a
ballot box. The human race just has to wake up, start
being gentle and begin treating each other with grace! I
don't think this will happen within the system. Ghandi or
Martin Luther King did way more than any Democrat ever has."

The video of disenfranchized voters in Ohio he's talking
about is found here (I haven't watched it yet)...

My friend Adam has two interesting posts...

I recommend The Power of Nightmares (a documentary aired
on BBC2), which compares American neo-conservatives with
radical Islamists. There are torrents floating around the
web (parts 1 & 2 are on Suprnova last I checked).

This page has links to cool short video clips...

...including a great excerpt from Going Upriver, Jon
Stewart's appearance on Crossfire, his comments on the
following episode of The Daily Show, Dr. Rice's testimony
before the 9/11 Commission, and best of all (don't
miss it!) a splice-together of footage from the
Republican National Convention where the speakers mention
terrorism.
