JFK Speech on Secret Societies and Freedom of the Press
Tomorrow morning I leave for Burning Man, one of the last outposts in the U.S. where free speech and expression are actually encouraged. So I thought it fitting to post this important speech by Predident John Kennedy . . . It is really worth thinking about.

Current TV - A Thinking Person's YouTube
Since I'm deep into preparations for this year's Burning Man festival, I don't have much time to blog right now. Nonetheless, I wanted to let you know about Current.TV (as if most of you didn't already know about it :-). Here is a little of what they say about themselves:

Current is a national cable and satellite channel dedicated to bringing your voice to television. . . . Current is about what's going on: stories from the real world, told by you. . . . We slice our schedule into short segments that we call "pods" -- each just a few minutes long. You'll see profiles of interesting people on the rise, intelligence on trends as they spring up around us, and international news from new perspectives. . . . And much of it comes straight from you. . . . We call it viewer-created content, or VC2. Right now, VC2 makes up about a third of our channel -- and that share is growing.

If you've seen YouTube or Google video and think those are the standard for viewer submitted quality, you are going to be surprised at the exceptionally high quality of these short pods. Their home page is here, and the Burning Man pod that drew me to this site is here. . . . Check it out if you've got a minute (but expect to be hooked if you do!).

Something to think about
Man postpones, or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.

Why do you think they are building these camps?
This last January the Army Corps of Engineers gave Halliburton subsidiary
Kellogg Brown & Root nearly $400 million to build detention centers in the
United States, for the purpose of unspecified "new programs."
