[Oe List ...] Lest we get too sentimental about the Gipper

Tue Jun 29 19:24:09 CDT 2004

I just took the time to check out each of the links below recommended by  Richard Maguire.  Great stuff, all.  Did not know about The Corporation film (has everyone seen Fahrenheit 9-11?).  Was so taken with George Lakoff's tutorial on framing (the art of using persuasive, image-creating contexts and language) that I copied it off the Rockridge site & pasted it into Word so I can begin to digest it.  Important training for many battles -- including, but not limited to,  the one in the U.S. from now until Nov. 2.  Many thanks, Richard.

  >Hi everyone

  This article goes well with Dick's 
  cartoon.  http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0607-10.htm

  If you haven't heard of The Corporation, Canada's latest contribution to 
  democratic sanity, have a look at http://www.thecorporation.tv/  The 
  Economist even liked it (mostly).

  There's something else good at the University of Texas at Austin, 
  http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~rjensen/freelance/illusionsofsuperiority.htm

  And finally on the need for attention to the cultural dimension of politics 
  try www.rockridgeinstitute.org

  All encouraging signs for our times, I think
