do you ever have anything useful to say or contribute
other than your usual discombobulated rambling?

if the 'good guys' as you call them worked in the same
way why are there no dissident magazines on newsstands
right next to the new york times? if i want dissident
literature why do i have to go to 'revolution books'
off the beaten path here in new york to get them? i
would hope one could find them in colombia bookstores
or nyu but it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't.

if the 'good guys' worked in the same way there would
be more points of view out there for the masses to
consume other than that of the state media. where are
the anarchist magazines? the communist magazines? the
socialist magazines? the answer is in little
independent bookstores tucked away virtually out of
sight, keeping the dissident views to a mere whisper.

and if you're going to respond do it in a concise way
instead of just babbling.
