No seriously though, I expect at least one comment, because I know that someone read this
Today I don’t have class until after lunch, so I spent some time trolling Motionographer for some videos to watch.
I recommend these visual essays:
The Reichstag Fire | Surveillance | The History of ID | Habeas Corpus
Very well done, informative and more entertaining than the newspaper. Plus you can watch them over a bowl of cereal. If you think our liberties have taken a beating lately. Man just look at Britain. What’s with those guys? Surveillance cameras, ID cards, tracking devices, facial pattern recognition.
And this one:
What Barry Says
Propaganda is clearly in the hands of the people now. I’m curious what feeling you might get from watching this. Convicted by the actions of the US government? Angered by the clearly slanted viewpoint of the filmmaker? I for one am not a huge fan of the goings on in Washington, but that last line in the video is so cliche and polarizing. I find it downright offensive.

Totally. And the fact that you listened to that song some many times while you were asleep made me laugh, but the idea of it freaked me out a bit as well, because it had to have had some effect on your subconscious mind. Did it?
Meh. I don't know what to think of What Barry Says. It just sounds like conspiracy theories and anti-America propaganda... everyone has an agenda. He throws in big words and complex sounding sentences trying to make it sound like he's saying something different each time.
But Dick Cheney freaks me out. And on the video, they misspelled his name. Silly radicals. They should have googled it first.
such profoundly negative (not to mention a unabashedly sensationalistic) words do tend to make me a bit hot behind the ears. Why must people spend their time conjuring such nonsense?
The animation is pretty cool though. I'd like to see it put to better use.
I'll agree with that.
