More From Michael Moore

I'm part of the consumer culture... i'm just using the space i am given to express something that is out of the space so i'm part of the consumer system but i'm advocating stepping out. which is a contradiction but i could be part of he consumer system and say, 'let's consume even more.'

Historians differ on when the consumer culture came to dominate american culture. some say it was in the twenties, when advertising became a major industry and the middle class bought radios to hear the ads and cars to get to the stores. ... but there is no question that the consumer culture had begun to crowd out all other cultural possibilities by the years following world war ii.

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

Marx was wrong: it is not only the 'means of production' that shape societies, but the means of destruction. in our own time, the costs of war, or just war readiness, are daunting. ... the resulting cost squeeze has led to a new type of society, perhaps best terms a 'depleted' state, in which the military has drained reources from all other social functions.
