Civilianism / Barely Legal in Vancouver Canada
Respected journalist Amy Goodman was finally able to give her talk in Vancouver, Canada, in late November, 2009, after and despite serious harassment by Canadian police. She discussed this on her show Democracy Now in late November, but this is the actual talk. She discussed health care, her mother’s health care before death, media, Obama, Afghanistan, our military, feminism, and more. It’s often funny too.
She also talks about how she feels getting involved and dissent are very important. It’s an incredible talk, very revealing as she talks about her mother, and completely unedited.
Great line (among many): “What do I think of the mainstream media? I think it would be a good idea.”
“Information is power”, she said, something any student of journalism could tell you instinctively, but something many people don’t usually think about.
