I wasn't going to post today, but I feel that I must. I actually kind of like not having cable, because it forces me to watch PBS. I must admit that I really love PBS a lot.
I just got done watching Guerrilla: the taking of Patti Herst . It is a very well done documentary on the Symbian Liberation Army of the 1970's. It's really facinating stuff, that I never knew ANYTHING about. The documentary uses a lot of actual news footage, and it's just amazing. There was a hardcore shootout that was actually captured on live news, the first time anything like that was done live. It's very facinating. And I feel like the show doesn't portray the SLA as complete nutballs. Of course I believe they were extreemists. I don't think Comunisim works, no matter how nice it sounds in theory it never works in the real world. And I don't believe in their use of violence. In fact, they weren't a 'good' radical group. But I think it's good that the film makes some sort of attempt to show where they were comming from, so you understand the situation and the series of events better. I think it's amazing the things they don't teach you in school. So my advice for the day...watch this documentary, and watch more PBS. You'll be suprised at what you don't know.
