It is 3.22 am, an unusual time to blog for this writer. Yesterday I travelled from Stockholm to Amsterdam, and from Amsterdam to Detroit, where I find myself now, because my flight to Atlanta had been cancelled. I am thinking of what I am going to say at the US Social Forum which starts in Atlanta at 1 pm today. I quote http://ussf2007.org/ :
- Gather the Georgia State Capitol at 1pm
- Take MARTA to the Georgia State Station (E1)
- �Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, :struggle for a new world.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
- On Wednesday, June 27th, 2007, thousands of people from across the country will take to the :streets of Atlanta to kick off the first United States Social Forum. The Opening March is an :opportunity to show our strength, celebrate our victories, and demand change.
- Global movements converging at the World Social Forum have declared �Another World is Possible.” :The U.S. Social Forum (USSF) recognizes that another U.S. is necessary to achieve this vision. :What is your vision for another United States, another world?
Well, maybe I am going repeat that "the library is the last outpost against the consciousness industry", because that still seems to me to be true although I now realize that I would actually want the library to be the first outpost against the ongoing stealing from the mind (see Ch 4, in "Information Feadalism. Who Owns the Knowledge Economy", by Drahos and Braithwaite, 2001).
But I have to stop here . The battery of my laptop is empty, and they had no adapter for European power cables in this hotel.
Good Morning!
