where would we begin?

GREAT - but can it be an international revolution? Cos I am far away (and I want to play too).

And (sorry Godin - didn't mean to ignore the thread). I agree with (someone) that the media is controlled by people who continue to toe the line that the more tragedy the better - preferably with pictures and sobbing relatives and blood is cool too. Remember how scathing Maynard is towards CNN. I guess the brave story-teller would just tell the story. Without elaboration.

The other thing that this thread reminds me of is that line in Euolgy : he had a lot of nothing to say ... pointing his finger etc. It is a bit like your idea of conveying an important message that kind of gets lost. And I totally agree with the hilarious idea that in our "heightened state of consciousness" we have these BRILLIANT insightful ideas but then the next day - it is like WHAT the FUCK was I thinking? And thank GOD I didn't have a bloody pen - it would be even more embarrassing if I wrote it down!
