About time. /R From: Fred Nguyen <siddharta5@...> Date: Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:19 am Subject: Re: [rocklandfriendsofwbai] Fwd: Taking A Stand siddharta5 Offline Send Email Sheila, According to Michael Parenti, whose new book "Culture Struggles" is now in print, we need to be aware that culture is used to divide and distract and that the real fundametal struggle is between the ploutocracy and working people. I recorded his speech at Brecht Forum Friday. It is likely to be a premium on the upcoming drive.

I asked Prairie if the film had been covered on WBAI. I do recall hat the woman was critical of "multiculturalism", and I am paraphrasing here, saying that it uncritically allowed for the proliferation of all cultures regardless of whether they were oppressive, and that those who protested were accused of racism, etc. I have not seen the film. And, to Fred: I confess, I have not read the Koran, or the Bible! (only passages) (I am , however, listening to The Da Vinci Codes, :o) The latter, however, is nothing to joke about, in the sense that it shows how pop culture has the ear and eye of thee public to a greater degree than the left. ___ New Pacifica Working Group http://www.egroups.com/group/NewPacifica 'Save Our Stations!'
