Whew... that was a much needed break. I feel better now. heh,heh...

I've been having dreams for about a month now on corporate media conglomerates. The first one happened out of no where.... I wasn't even aware of any developing situation. It was about my local newspaper in New Orleans buying up all the other newspapers in the States, one by one, and I was getting all worked up explaining to my family what was so horrible about that. I woke up and turned on my computer that has the NYTimes as my front page. Lo and behold the lead story was about the FCC loosening restrictions on corporate media expansion. Anyway, it shocked me enough to feel a certain obligation in pursuing the subject, so I'm following my subconscious and posting links to articles when I run across them until the dreams stop or I lose interest, which ever comes last. I haven't had whole dreams on the subject since the first one, but it just keeps popping up in conversations throughout my dreams.

"If the flow of human communications is controlled by global media companies, how do we ensure that social and cultural points of view and political expressions that may differ from those of the companies who own the frequencies will be allowed to flow over the spectrum?"
