Thing 2: Making the Most of it

I'm sorry this post is out of order - I had been behind a while back and skipped over a few items.

This is supposed to use several different multimedia, so I'm going to mix several that I think are important to me......
Although I do like Simon and Garfunkel's version of this song, I also really like this version, so it's the one that I posted - fewer people know about it...


A quotation from the Port Huron Statement which I think fits society well:
  The apathy here is, first subjective — the felt powerlessness of ordinary people, the resignation before the enormity of events. But subjective apathy is encouraged by the objective American situation — the actual structural separation of people from power, from relevant knowledge, from pinnacles of decision making. . . . The American political system is not the democratic model of which its glorifiers speak. In actuality it frustrates democracy by confusing the individual citizen, paralyzing policy discussion, and consolidating the irresponsible power of military and business interests."
