Celebrity addiction (or I’ve read “People” and the damage done)

Some Thoughts On New Media

The need for moderate voices in public discussion (or Cover your mouth when you cough)

So I keep hearing that my body is mostly made up of bacteria. I am apparently nothing more than a containment vessel for all kinds of microscopic flora and fauna. More of me is not me than is me. In

Consumption Culture (or Are You Going to Eat That?)

Everywhere I go, people are eating something. I go to the park and there are sodas and ice cream cones. I go to the shopping mall and people are wandering around with a cup of coffee and a danish. I

Living in a Post-Capitalist World (or First, Kill All the Bankers)

What is everywhere and nowhere? Who really does know when you’re sleeping and when you’re awake? Who feeds you, clothes you and puts a roof over your head? That’s right. It’s the big, bad corporation. And they know where you

Cultural Sensitivity

(or Discussing Your Mama’s Unfortunate Weight Problem) Everybody loves a good joke. It begins with the kids’ knock-knock jokes and leads to all sorts of bathroom humour in your teens. Later something walks into a bar, and then your grandpa
