I think I just channeled Marshall McLuhan. |

He says, "I was wrong. The medium is not the message. The Movement is the message."

"Sirens on the rooftops wailin'. But there's no ships sailin'. Groucho with his punchlines failin' stands alone with his movies trailin'."
Sorry - had a Genesis moment there.

That's from "The Broadway Melody of 1974".

Someone posted somewhere that people at the demonstrations can't clearly and concisely convey the message and that that's a bad thing... as if anyone needs a degree in economics or public relations in order to know there is something going deeply, deeply wrong in this country.
