If you go out on the afternoon on the high street it’s full of people shopping with money they don’t have - then people go on the news and ask “oh how ever did we get to the so - called ‘credit crunch’”? It’s ridiculous. The powers that be don’t want you to think they just want you to spend and be spent and that’s our fucking opinion!

Conspircies re: facebook and myspace
OK, I get it. Right.
Well, on this subject I'll say this:
It is certainly true that the internet to some extent could be described as controlling people in the West as it appears to give them unlimited freedom whilst actually consigning them to sitting in front of a screen all day.
However, it is maybe going a tad far to assume that this is part of some conspiracy. I would rather put it that the internet can be used as a great tool for good and it can be abused, both by the public and by the powers that be.
I think the really responsible message would be to urge people to use it for good, rather than letting it go the wrong way. Both myspace and facebook can be used to great positive benefit... to argue otherwise merely leaves the coast clear for others to abuse these platforms. If we want things to change for the good we have to be part of it, accepting new technologies and using them to our benefit. Spreading fears about conspiracies will not achieve this - it will play right into th hands of those that want us to fear.
