Still learning it, but wow-ee can it make stuff pretty. Lots of great tutorials on creative cow also.
re: MSM
As best I can tell, the MSM is public enemy #1.
We have a few options.
1. We can cry about how lousy they are, and constantly pass around the same outrageous clips and commentaries. My objection: "preaching to the choir" does not gain mindshare.
2. We can ignore the MSM, and rely on alternative media. My objection: we already do this, it is the REMAINING 80-90% of Americans I am worried about.
3. We can play to win, create our own media company, and begin fighting in the marketplace of ideas. My objection: unless we come together, it won't happen
The march is GREAT. I will be there, chanting and screaming.
However, I live down here in Florida. You know- 3% rational, 97% retarded, crooked and senile. My neighbors all watch Fox News. They love it. It doesn't matter that OReilly is a lying scum-sucking rodent, because, like Mitt Romney, he's SOOOOO handsome.
We must fight fire with fire. We need our own Bill O'Reilly. We need our own sexy anchor(wo)men, and our own newscasts. We need a pro-Liberty spin, not the same old corporate-fascist spin.
Look: I'm not (totally) insane. I know that I am no Steven Spielberg. I know that most YouTube videos are pretty boring and lame. However, there ARE diamonds in the rough. This community has some serious talent- artists far more creative than me myself. I believe we can leverage that community and continue to wage a war for the hearts and minds of our fellow sheeple.
If you haven't voted for Dr. Paul yet, ignore me and get back to canvassing a.s.a.p. As for the rest of you- we must now set our sites on 2012.
How do we achieve plurality in the next 4 years?
Radio. Newsprint. Television. We need to get into the homes (and minds) of the mainstream. We need to find the right blend of "so weird I can't look away" and "hmmm, I think I agree with this".
Ron Paul is not the messiah. Trevor Lymon is nothing special. This is not about specific leaders or groups or alliances. This is about spreading the ideals of Liberty as far and wide as we can.
We must reach out to the Obama supporters, to the Kucinich lovers, and even those still in love with Heir Bush. Those who have fallen victim to pro-Hillary propaganda must be exposed to OUR propaganda. As they say- easy come, easy go.
This is not a silver bullet, but creating our own media company is an essential next step. I hope you can see the value to this strategy, and will help promote it.
