I admire Jon Stwart in his ability to illuminate the Bullshit coming out of Government and Mass Media sources, but deep down, I think he is doing a disservice to America by presenting it as "Comedy". It desensitizes people to the seriousness of the utter control the Corporations have over each and every one of our lives.

Making a joke of it only tills the ground for grudging acceptance.

The evidence is laid out nice a tidy for everyone to see, but then is promptly ignored, thus allowing the crimes to continue.

The only way to take control back is by refusing to finance these Corporate scum by taking care of ourselves, and providing as much as we can for ourselves.

It can be done. Living simply, out of debt and with very little expense is not as difficult as it seems, but gearing up for it takes time, tools, and knowledge.

Time is stolen from you by being a debt slave.
Knowledge is stolen from you by the Corporate controlled Education System.
The Tools for self Sufficiency are no longer manufactured, and the labor saving devices they supply in their place are all for show, and require huge outlays on infrastructure.

Just an aside, we recently reviewed an emergency preparedness document for the Government. In your tool kit, no mention of a Knife, Axe or Shovel. The TV is a prominent communications device in case of Emergency however.

I wonder how an Urban area would fare if the Municipal water supply would be disrupted for an extended period, considering that 20 gallons per person is the calculated average, with 80% of that used for flushing toilets.
