Mindfuck
Books that will induce a mindfcuk.
this is not my list, but some of it I can shirley vouch for. ahem.
Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" is there as well. I went through parts of it. Its actually painful to go through that. The amount of carnage that was affected to have this so calle "western civilization" is just fucking mind boggling.
I guess that's what a MINDFUCK is. Howard Zinn was on the daily show last night (jan 05, 05). There is a marked difference beween the "thinkers" on the "right" and the thinkers on the Left. The current sound-bite ass-media favors the ass hole who can come up with a slogan or blurt out some 2 sentence crap in the 5 seconds that they got. The public gets their McWisdom, eat that shit and get more fat around their brains.
The Lefty scholars (if you will) tend to hesitate, think a lot, try to compose a proper sentence. That comes across as awkward. The host is getting all ansy (even though I thought John Stewart gave him a lot more time than he would give) .. But Zinn seemed a little disappointed nevertheless. I guess he wanted to develop a point, but that is JUST NOT possible on a half hour show which is chock full of goodness for the A.D.D afflicted.
Still it was good to see Howard Zinn on the Daily Show.
