Remember when The Rolling Stone used to be something? I remember it as the first nationally distributed counterculture mag. John Lenon on the cover! Hunter Thompson baby! In the book Six Days of the Condor the protagonist delivers his expose to, you guessed it, The Rolling Stone! (In the movie adaptation Three days of the Condor Robert Redford delivers it to the NY Times. What was up with that?). Then, alas, The Rolling Stone turned to shit. All Britney all the time. Makeup tips. Bummer.

- Did you read the whole article? Ok, then you're ready for this. (FYI: 36Mb wav file)
First read, then listen. No cheating!
Post a Comment- Do I GOTTA read the WHOLE thing? It's too LOOOOOONG! I gotta go hang with my buds! I gotta watch a real important program tonight! I don't wanna! Geeze. Five whole pages! All that political stuff can't be important.
More to the point - how can we put those contractors right out of business and into jail? Why don't the frustrated and threatened military ratings and civilian tools threaten the bosses back? If lawlessness and accountability is so thin, won't the same tactics work both ways? After all, greed is not at the base of Maslow's pyramid.
