now that we are a seven years into this decade [the twenty hundreds not the zeros] it is clear what it will be remembered for, the flight from the present and the flight from reality.
nostalga shows, often talking about the events of only a few years ago as if it was ancient history, another world entirely differentto ours, and the prepakaged and artificial reality of stylised documenterys such super size me and the entire michael moore cannon and reality shows such as big brother celebrating totalitarianism. is the modern world so scary a place that we have to do this, well perhaps and what of it is this escapism so bad? no, only if you are as intent on living as i am [very] because we are becoming more and more complacent, we are taking our eye of the ball, anything could happen, most vote only on big brother, they don't care who gets in, goerge w bush stole an ellection and got away with it because of this complacency next time it might be big brother himself. this is going to be remembered as the decade in which we let the earth die or let it live. big things are a foot, we have three years left of this decade and the choice is your's.
