I have been doing some thinking, and it seems to me upon surveying the 'scene' (excluding the profiteering criminal element) that too many people resemble anti-globalization protesters. I do not mean that in a positive way; I'm talking about the fools who smash the windows of small businesses in the course of protesting large multinational corporations. There does seems to be a sense of rage, certainly disappointment, in a number of people regarding their ability to effect change... but it's poorly articulated. Someone elsewhere the other day reflected back on the LA Riots, expressing disappointment that the rioters violated their own neighbourhoods instead of tearing up mansions in Beverley Hills. An apt metaphor. While there isn't enough aggression directed at pop culture noise sites like myspace, youtube, or facebook and others, we risk getting distracted by focusing on that sort instead of laying a beating on entities that deserve a stronger brand of justice. I'm not sure how to strike a balance in that regard anymore. Might I suggest, or even plead, that you bend your talents towards giving these folks the hardest time possible? Penetrate their networks and those of their partners and make secrets known, their employees uncomfortable - you lie down with dogs, you get fleas - and make the price of doing dirty business as high as possible. Expect complications due to use of fronts, renamings, holding companies, etc. Names come from a mix of sites and are ranked in no particular order of importance. I'd lay the boots to Monsanto and the Church Of Scientology first, but à chacun son goût.
