It's unfortunate that we don't have a real Howard Beale to represent us on the news. The fact that he is portrayed as going crazy shows that even our most hopeful representatives have to be nuts before they do something about the media problems surrounding us.

"Turn off your Televisions!" and turn on your critical analysis.

filmtomovie.com - my first attempt to create a company dedicated to autonomous film releasing by providing alternative options for filmmakers in control of their release rights.

The entertainment sky is falling and i'm here to pick up the pieces. Don't forget everyone and their mother is a filmmaker. Distribution models are constantly changing in the current market. The key is to keep thumbs in the production side of the industry. Developing low budget features and maintaining the rights is key. Theatrical is promotion and takes anywhere from $10,000 up to $25,000,000 (or more!). But in the long run, this is how people learn of your film, this creates staying power. These are a few of the simple things i have learned.

the electric Commuta Car circa 1980

You may ask, "Why should we bailout an industry that isn't providing a product WE want?"

Great Question!? If we the people bailout another failed industry, what do we get? Let us demand the development of Electric Cars like the Tango. All that developers like Rick and Bryan Woodbury need to kick things off ranges in the millions, not billions. If we force the industries with manufacturing plants to take on the technologies that are available (just look at the Tesla Roadster), we could save the auto industry while saving the Earth.

Take action! Use five minutes to contact GM and tell them what you want. It's easy if you click the "Take Action" link above.

Here's a film that has some relation to this subject as well, . I bet you thought i was going to say, .]]> http://theduct.org/news.html#94 Sun, 09 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800 oOdles fOr nOOdles - theDUCT - NEWS http://theduct.org/news.html#93

Now that the left leaning side has won, it's time to activate. Obama said it best, "This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were."

Now is the time to get involved. Now is the time to do something great. Get into the good fight by staying informed. Participate in the issues as they become known. Stay activated and investigate a new movement.

Find out what November 5th means for the next four years. Make the next four to eight years work beyond this election. Do something! The time to stay alert is today, tomorrow, and beyond.

It is a tired mind that thinks voting for the popular guy will be less of a bad time in the long run. The truth is that linguistically you are correct. Less evil is lesser evil. Although, the debates do not elevate the viewer to become political savants, neither does tuning into CNN or FOX for candidates discussing real issues that matter to their constituents.

Have you seen real issues discussed?

Sure, good political activists pay attention to every outlet of their favorite nominee to find that they, the maverick or the bringer hope and change, are marching towards an office that will be a little less evil or definitely not terrorist. The problem is that the United States has participated in terrorism as terrorists in Guantanamo, Iraq, and many other countries so unfortunately the true description, the full meaning of the word terrorist gets twisted into something convenient for an election.

But what does this mean?

Our leaders lie to us and promote the suppression of information. Did you hear from the mainstream media what took place during both parties national conventions?



This two party system has us backed into a confused corner and the American people are ready to strike like a zealot cobra in hopes to save our livelihoods and retirement plans. The majority of us will throw a hopeful vote towards the guy that is not as evil as the other.

Really America?

Have we sunk to the point now where we completely rely on what a democrat or republican says? After all that they have not done for the working class, the poor, or even the middle class? We sit around the table at family gatherings and squabble over petty differences because the Mass Media has us by the cerebral cortex. We quibble over the fictitious platforms presented by one of the richest, most well to do classes in our society.

The answer is right in front of us and yet we say, "We'll, that guy has no chance. No one knows that he's an option." Really? Is this our answer every four years? The lesser of two evils?

Why not give a third party guy a chance? Men and Women who have done nothing but good things for average Joe. The third parties who speak truth about the situation in America and offer real solutions that make sense, minus Chuck "10 commandments in every courthouse" Baldwin (although sometimes he makes more sense than Obama/McCain). You know who they are (if you followed my links). If you have never heard of them then maybe you have never voted before, that's okay too. Research, educate, investigate, for just ten minutes a day. I know your already consuming information but try consuming trustworthy alternative media sources.

If you enjoy peace and despise the Patriot Act, if you value your children's future and dislike the unbalanced favoritism corporations receive, if you like the idea of retirement and quiver at the idea of relying on wall street and 401ks, test your nominee's stature on the protection of the constitution. Ask specific questions. 

What destroys me are the polls. Americans agree that the country is going in the wrong direction. More than eighty percent of Americans say the country is on the wrong track yet they continue to vote for the Republocrats. Noam Chomsky, professor of Linguistics at MIT says, "The United States has essentially a one-party system and the ruling party is the business party."

Does this sound familiar?

Maybe you've thought this to yourself or heard someone say something like this before. It's the god awful truth. America is pigeonholed as Republicrat whether you like it or not. Voting for a candidate that does not stand for what you desire is insane. You say you want a better healthcare system and the Republicrats do nothing. Why should they when they have a great healthcare plan.  Americans agree that Congress is not doing there job yet two Senators are slated to be the next president.

What gives? What will it take to get America to snap out of it?

But remember, you swing voters out there, vote the lesser of two evils into office. It is after all the lessening of evil. Democrats do have a better social justice record so do your duty and help us work towards universal health care and less corporate favoritism. If you live in liberal central (like LA or NYC) and/or you've been watching the polls in your state swing to Barack Obama, do a brother a favor and give a third party candidate a chance to get a higher percentage. Make a stand for the working class and poor and vote for a voice for the voiceless. I've chosen to continue to support Ralph Nader as i reside in Obama land. Maybe someday, fighters for truth and justice like Ralph will get a chance to debate as he should have this time around. Get involved! opendebates.org

It was somewhat shocking to see a fair amount of gas stations closed for business or for sale in a closed state. Is it coincidence or a sign of the times? Is gasoline not very profitable at the Mom and Pop level? I wish i knew. Maybe this would be a great short piece of investigative journalism by a non journalist. Shall i investigate?]]> http://theduct.org/news.html#88 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700 oOdles fOr nOOdles - theDUCT - NEWS
