Glen Beck Cont... uhh! - no, national hero !

So you think I forgot ! - Admittedly I'm only mentioning Beck because he dissed India (in a sense). I had thought that this was the first time. However, a cursory google on "Glen Beck India" returned results as old as 2006. He's being going on about Indian doctors and the river Ganga etc... This one is just another string of his rants. Mmmm it's good to look outwards - from a psychoanalytical point of view - having a 'world view' is good, for sure. It deters from obsessing about one's self and helps alleviate neurosis. So if viewers of Glen Beck's show get off on making fun of others countries and cultures then so be it. I think there is a place for such incendiary commentary; if only to relieve their isolation and neurosis about their own culture and society. For this alone, Glen should be commended, as well as the owners and sponsors of Fox News (fair and balanced of course). Mmm I almost regret watching Avatar now... money goes to Rupert Murdoch. Must stop reading WSJ too. oh no ! For the rest of humanity that doesn't prescribe to the 'adventures' of Glen Beck ? We must wait till his demographic changes its perspective on things. Long wait you say ? Well, there is a generational change in America - this is its last throes.

Finally we are able to wade through the bullshit

Boycotting the Olympics or boycotting the opening ceremony punishes amateur athletes. If you want to punish China then I suggest you stop using cheap Chinese goods to prop up your consumer based economies... if you can't do that then please stop fucking around with this boycott bullshit. This kind of rubbish does nothing to forward the cause of an autonomous Tibetan zone within China... or does it ? If the US economy had some clout, then I can imagine this kind of sabre rattling would work. However, lets face it... the US needs Chinese goods more than ever. The consumers need to write letters to the CEO of each company, whose goods they consume, and state categorically that they will boycott their goods if they continue sourcing from China. Now that's a boycott, these political stunts are garbage. Of course ppl aren't going to actually stop buying the goods, but that's the kind of sabre rattling that works. The mob has to rise for anything to happen.
