In his excellent appearance on CSPAN BookTV Chris Hedges goofed
But two times
First he wrote off President Obama which has been his general position all alongBarack Obama is the best we can expect given realityThose of us who support him do so because we believe he is playing rope-a-dopeHe will eventually make good on the things we fault him forAnd if he does it will be because we made change happen on the ground
Second Chris said that media on all sides were wrongly critical ofhis friend Cornel WestNot meI merely thought he has said things that the President is entirely aware ofAnd that West's umbrage was because the President would not receive himMaybe I was wrong to make the point but I think it is significant asa dynamic among the President's critics
There is one other thingI think both West and Hedges would benefit from immersion in the philosophy of C. S. Peirce
Oh and one otherThere is a technological solution to our current crisis which I outline on this blogIt is the creation of cyber-communitiesThe difference between me and Chris is that I propose solutions
