7. Pls run don't walk to see Century of the Self --
it will add a whole new dimension to your understanding of the problem, I think. There are 4 parts, on Google video.

Another must-see, if you haven't already, is Manufacturing Consent featuring Noam Chomsky.

See also the recent article in The New Yorker. Links to all of the foregoing at http://c-cyte.blogspot.com/2008/01/must-see-century-of-self-by-adam-curtis.html .

TV is the premier instrument for brainwashing/pacifying us, for transforming us from active citizens into passive consumers.

The less you watch, the better off you are.
