No Logo was a great read. Especially liked the American school kids making a stand when they realised their uniforms had possibly come from sweat shops. Heh ha.

As for the video, David Frost is quite probably THE worst interviewer in the history of television, and he got progressively worse with age. Dull dude is dull.

Conservatives didn't cause the Katrina disaster, but, they did allow a massive oil-tanker canal to remain open, thereby letting the ocean into the city further than it should have been... also, the swamps that would have dampened the hurricane were destroyed by free market practices, so there is a loose connection between social Darwinism & that particular disaster. Regarding 9/11, not enough was done to prevent the attacks. Bush was on holiday & trivialised warnings; didn't cause it though!

She is an incredibly intelligent and independent thinker not to mention a charming one in the good sense of the word..

@TheJuniorRodriguez While she does write about conspiracies, she provides everything from quotes to articles to transcripts, in the book. There's nothing theoretical about the books content.

What do you mean "the Anti-globalization movement doesn't go in for hero worship?" I guess one of your genius al Jizmeera researchers told you that? They cream their jeans at the mention of Klein, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Iran's Ahmadinutcase to name a few.

klein is an intellectually vacant whore who is capitalizing off suckers stupid enough to but her badly written conspiracy-theory crud.

Anti-brand-brand: Marketing genius. An anti-globalism global bestseller?

by disaster, she means her father-in-law or his father had actually been elected in Canada.
