Yet the western media, in the daily events in The Middle East and Africa, asks us rather to gaze on in horror at the actions of our Muslim ‘enemies’ and not to question our own involvement in these atrocities.<BR/>It’s a question of weight, propaganda and political control of (and by) the media, and like Brighton Rock, it goes all the way through our western society.<BR/>I don’t mean to suggest that we should not feel compassion, merely that we should be careful of who is directing us – our compassion should be un-weighted by that which our financial-politico-media establishments deem worthy.Garthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637097897454660933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23064466.post-48979523715288519052007-04-23T17:26:00.000+01:002007-04-23T17:26:00.000+01:00Good stuff.NGood stuff.<BR/>NNB BOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444250305683711715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23064466.post-87451602024074320972007-04-23T16:37:00.000+01:002007-04-23T16:37:00.000+01:00As I listen to Eno & Byrne, which makes me think o...As I listen to Eno & Byrne, which makes me think of Pisces, I of course drifted over, procrastinating, to see what you have thrown onto the blog....<BR/><BR/>Must I say again: the political machine and the individual's politics and suffering are two separate entities? We are no longer a land in which 1 vote, 1 person can make a difference (as seen in the last election). Instead, big business, big money rule and we are now a country divided into electoral 'colleges.'<BR/><BR/>Suffering is suffering ... no matter the reason, and therefore, each victim deserves compassion...despite his/her government's political agendas and policies...<BR/><BR/>good to see the acerbic side of Pisces roar again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23064466.post-51086337750729221222007-04-23T13:34:00.000+01:002007-04-23T13:34:00.000+01:00We've taken similar slices of this neocon farce.
