Post to come later, just didn't want to forget the title. Also video needs to be done. If this is me reading this, why aren't you finishing this?
Because I'm a procrastinator. So depending on what you would consider my polical beliefs to be, one might suggest I can't do any of those and stick to them. Or all of them, as long as I'm the one telling myself to do them... Wait I'm confusing myself. I suppose the main point I'd like to make about "internet democracy" is that is not what it claims to be. Whether it be the coding language to program websites and pages, or the little clique communities that crop up everywhere, someone else will be dictating the rules to you. Even this page you're reading is for people like me who couldn't be bothered learning how to make our own website, so we have to follow the rules of the host. I could rant on but I'd run out of space. As a funny side note - the "Military Entertainment Complex" reading talks about the war in Iraq as being scripted like a Hollywood blockbuster, yet - perhaps due to being published before the war ended - omits the comic twist of the US government's failure to cover up the fact that they never found any WMD, you know, the whole premise of the invasion and all that?
Well, I thought it was funny.
