Ani Difranco Self Evident

This is about 9/11 and its fallout.

This video took a really, really long time to make, but it was worth it.

Edit: This is dedicated to my dad, who died in October 2007. This was his favorite video of mine and he was the one who taught me to question the status quo and think critically.

Do NOT blame all muslims for the acts of a few. To do so is absolutely ludicrous. Muslims are not to blame for 9/11, it was the result of the actions of a few radical individuals who call themselves for muslims. What they have done is in no way commended or supported by the Qur'an. We are not the moral compass of the world, the war in Iraq does not protect our freedoms and we are a country manipulated by the media and fear.

"Here's a toast to all those

nurses and doctors

who daily provide women with a choice

who stand down a threat the

size of Oklahoma City

just to listen to a young woman's voice."

I burst into tears on this line.

"Fuel" by her is really good. It's another poem. There's so many political songs- from what society expects of women to society in general. "Millennium Theater" is a good song, "Not a pretty girl" is about what society expects from women. "Evolve" is another good political song. There's so many.

When I first heard this track/poem I loved it. Now I've grown up a little and realise what utter shit Ani diF is spouting in it.

Can anyone recomend me some more of her politcal songs? She is amazing and I absolutley love the deepeness of this song. Nothing like it.

Nice job on the video, mollywobbles. i work graveyard shift downtown in NYC, and came off my shift that Tuesday morning just in time to watch it happen. Even now, 10 years later, I look out my office window down on the Ground Zero construction. Ani speaks right to my sensibilities, and your video gave me goosebumps. I lost friends that day, so it's not easy to look at those photos. But you have to. Even with GWB gone, not much has changed, I'm sad to say, but your hard work is much appreciated.

Ani Difranco, although a humble musician, has preached so much more truth to me than any newsreader, popular celebrity, politician...or anything else people tend to feed off of for 'facts' these days.
