    COLLEGE DAZE!!!!


    College Daze


    Yeah for comments, good to hear from people after so long!!!  I love seeing that the mass media (Newsweek) is covering the types of things we’re talking about.  This magazine i picked up, Adbusters, is pretty radical, but it’s the type of magazine that is needed not to spread propaganda or change people, but simply to expose people to other things.


    It’s funny how the types of criticims i’ve heard from Fahrenheit 9/11 is that it’s yellow journalism (i don’t even remember what that means) or propaganda, or some other terms i forget from school, but people love to throw around.  What people need is exposure to ideas, and if people don’t like certain ideas, than not to simply tear down one persons ideas, but show the opposite side.


    I was watching the Daily Show, and they were talking about the possibility of postponing the election due to a terrorist attack.  Did anybody else here that?  Probably not, we’re too busy playing our video games.


    Anyways…it’s pouring rain here at camp, which gives me a little break.  Anyone who wants to have an early peak at my book, you can buy it now at

    It’s a special first copy made for the summer, so if you’re eager to see it now, go buy it.  I haven’t marked the price up at all from what the company charges for printing.  If you buy it, let me know what you think, since i want to make a few more changes before tackling the book tour this fall.


    Thanks,


    -Dan

  • Congrats on finishing it!

  • Hey Dan,

    I’m so excited that your book is coming out!  I’m eager to see what you have to say.  On another note, even though I’m not a fan of Michael Moore at all, I think I’m going to see his movie anyway just to see his side of everything, whether or not I agree with it.

    P.S. I watch the Daily Show religiously
