Social critics from both Left AND Right feel that we're lonely kooks muttering in the wilderness. That's what the Powers That Be (PTB) WANT us to feel and, through their mass-media, MAKE us feel. Guess what: (1) We're right & they're wrong; (2) we're the majority; and (3) Leftists and Tea Partiers agree with each other on many issues. More than we agree with the PTB. We'll hear political commentary by 5 marginalized voices. Does any articulate thoughts & feelings close to your own?
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "Executive Dining Room") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford. Feedback to kdowst at hotmail period com.
