the Sugar Conspiracy

He's ba-a-a-a-a-ck!

After 10 days of intense classes, discussions, lectures, and mild sleep deprivation, I have returned from the ZMI conference ready to change the world. It was a fantastic experience filled with fascinating people doing simply incredible things with their lives. We kept a hectic schedule of classes and lectures punctuated with cafeteria food that was about as bad as I remember from my childhood, with the exception of the massive dessert buffet that lent all kinds of credence to the sugar conspiracy. (I guess you can't have one of those in an elementary school or the place would explode). We explored topics such as radical theory, mainstream and alternative media, participatory economics, global organizing, research and reporting, political science, economics, foreign policy, institutional racism, organizing, and a little pop culture. We also participated in 3 lectures/Q&A's with the man himself, Noam Chomsky.

I discovered a whole host of new websites and organizations as well as a slew of alternative media projects that are doing some good in the world, so as soon as I can get the time, I'll update those on the website. In the meantime, I'm back at it, blogging my little fingers away. Hope you enjoy.
