“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!”  “Network” is a movie made 30 years ago that perfectly describes television, news and the main stream media today.  It even brilliantly captures the competing idelogies of individual rights and inherent human value vs. corporatization, centralization and dehumanization.  The film captures the emotion of the 70’s, a very rough economic time very similar to what we are experiencing today.  I think the deep anger and frustration that is accidentally tapped by the network here very much exists today.  How do we tap this anger and use that energy to build a better world?  I highly recommend watching this in its entirety but I’ll include two short clips from the film as well.
