when harry potter brings more people together than the usurpation of american democracy
by a two-bit dictator, you know we are in trouble.

geez, how many barnes and nobles or borders bookstores are there? how many congressional local offices are there?

in many locations between 200 - 400 people lined up and spent at least several hours to purchase this manufactured entertainment product.

could you imagine if this same amount of people gathered to protest in front of their congressman's office for at least the same amount of time? in so many locations?


it baffles the mind.

an interesting historical perspective regarding the "movement" in 1968.

compelling because it seems like everyday people were politicized. HOW did they get that way? how can it happen again?
