So here we have the resources through which we are made aware of the world around us (admittedly, not all, but a large number because of Lexus-Nexus). However unfounded you choose to declare some of these sources, at least check out one or two. Type in a phrase to a search engine (i.e. FTAA or EZLN into indymedia, prisoners' rights or EU into Lexus-Nexus, anything) and read some of what comes up. Start to become informed. Maybe check out some of the opinions on the issue ... check out some of the propaganda. Examine flaws. Start to determine an opinion for yourself. Act. Change the situation.
