Food For Thought - Today everybody is potential war correspondent in their own private revolution  

i was reading this article in ny times that had a quote Today every citizen is a war correspondent - and i thought what is a citizen - a citizen to me is everybody who has eyes, ears a mind and a sense that something good, bad or indifferent is happening and they are witness to survival as the title of an  exhibit that came from serajevo during the bosnian war - but with todays resources and im-media-cy we who are everybody are potentially a war correspondent - but one question i ask myself is who are we really fighting against and for and who is who and whose propaganda machine are we listening too - lately i have been more and more impressed at the gang mentality of our so called leader who seem to be so self absorbed that we the people are just statistics - so Today everybody is potential war correspondent in their own private revolution - are you
