  1. Boy are we out of touch if we are worried about adds, and not worred about things like this (or are even aware).

    I guess you havent watched Nickelodeon lately

    This Nickelodeon “news program”, is not a news program. It is a leftist primer on how to be a “left-wing radical REBEL”.

    I am not a blind follower of our Government, and I also think that Government should be watched by it’s citizens. It is our civic duty.

    However this program led by Ellerby, is anti-war, anti- GWOT, anti-military.

    This “news program” is not about people changing the World around them.

    Ms. Ellerby uses leftist propaganda buzz words like “taking on the establishment”.

    She shows a group of “tweenagers” walking around in orange jumpsuits, hooded and yelling from a bullhorn. “We are not ok, with people being tortured by American soldiers!” “Are cooperation’s priority over human lives?”

    There is also a call for the impeachment of the President in the second segment of the video, “democracy is at stake because of the President violating the Constitution”.

    The fourth segment of video shows another tweenager, who has put together a video of wounded Iraqi children, with the song Jesus Loves Me playing over it. This teenager blames America, the military, for what is happening in Iraq. This young girl says “she finds, videos and facts on the Internet” to show what is REALLY happening in Iraq. I am guessing she is getting these images from Al Jazeera.

    a lot around this has been flushed down the memory hole. like the website the kids were to go with, etc.

    the ads are for the adults… not to scare the kids.
    the kids, get to watch nick to get their socialist fix.

    Nick has launched “The Big Green Help,” a multimedia campaign that encourages the network’s young viewers to become junior environmentalists, and major finger-waggers. “Nickelodeon’s Big Green Help is all about helping YOU find simple, positive ways to protect the Earth every day,”

    and

    In an effort to educate and encourage action, Nickelodeon is set to release what could be the first ever online multiplayer video game that deals with environmental issues. As a component of the broader Big Green Help initiative, the game will tie together an overall theme that the company launched on Earth Day last April.

    and of course your not watching disney either and their recent switch to utopianism… with a tree of life…
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tree_of_Life_(Disney)

    then the child targeted VHEMT
    The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
    http://www.vhemt.org/

    which kind of makes broadways show the Lemmings quite prescient (but then agin they were ivy league college educated and knew what the texts were saying)

    the real stuff are the shorts at the end of the page.

    “The Stork” 3:00 min
    Little bundles of joy delivered by the mythical stork, with natural consequences.

    “The Wit and Wisdom of Cancer” 4:30 min.
    What would cancer cells say if they progressed to humanity’s advanced level of consciousness?

    “Fertco” 3:00 min
    Fertility treatments with big box economy.

    all cartoons, and in several styles that are popular… (because the characters resemble some characters from the Uk (i think)).

    imagine a child watching the stork coming… coming say to bring baby brother.

    and you see a flight of storks with babies…
    and you see green hills, and wildlife

    then the storks drop the babies.
    and like the old cartoons they fall
    but they dont fall into a chiminey

    no… they hit the ground and blow up into instant family, the blowing up resembles a nuclear bomb that instantly turns deer into skeletons..
    and set to classical music…
    and you can see the storks like bomber runs

    this has been going on for decades.

    but alas, the complainers were always tin hatters and such and marginalized.

    and if you have the stomach to read a very interesting online book.. take it with a grain of salt but its fascinating.. (and he knows his history)

    no one knows what they are doing.
    its not on the radar now

    there is a reason why so many regimes do this.
    from the INSIDE, it looks different

  3. When Auden revised his poems late in life he changed that line to read “We must love one another AND (emphasis mine) die.”

  4. In the context of September 1939, I first thought the ironic points of light referred to muzzle flashes from an exchange of gunfire.

    Since I had to hike a long, wordy path to learn his trick, it was no surprise to read it first appeared in The New Republic.

    I suppose when it comes to war poems, Auden is fine but but Owen is quicker.

  5. neo, there’s a typo that might have others wondering what Johnson could connect to pre-invasion Normans 🙂

  6. mizpants: That’s fascinating. I hadn’t known that; I guess I’m with Austen, though, in finding fault with the line (I think it works poetically, however). Looking it up, I found the following:

    Soon after writing the poem, Auden began to turn away from it, apparently because he found it self-flattering to himself and to his readers. When he reprinted the poem in The Collected Poetry of W. H. Auden (1945) he omitted the famous stanza that ends “We must love one another or die.” In 1957, he wrote to the critic Laurence Lerner, “Between you and me, I loathe that poem” (quoted in Edward Mendelson, Later Auden, p. 478). He resolved to omit it from his further collections (it did not appear in his 1966 Collected Shorter Poems 1927-1957).

    In the mid-1950s Auden began to refuse permission to editors who asked to reprint the poem in anthologies. In 1955 he allowed Oscar Williams to include it complete in The New Pocket Anthology of American Verse with the most famous line altered to read “We must love one another and die.” Later he allowed the poem to be reprinted only once, in a Penguin Books anthology Poetry of the Thirties (1964), with a note saying about this and four other early poems, “Mr. W. H. Auden considers these five poems to be trash which he is ashamed to have written.”

  7. Neo,
    That note is really something. Only a figure as major and adored as Auden could get away with that kind of public self-flagellation. And even though I think the “and die” is truer than the “or die” version, it really works against the meaning of the poem, doesn’t it? Or at least doesn’t make much sense.

  8. Peggy Noonan got “a thousand points of light” from Prof. Helen Brudner her History teacher at Fairleigh Dickinson University. My wife was in the same class as Peggy. My wife has an astounding memory for this sort of thing. -PB

  9. I think whoever said they showed the Daisy ad once only was mistaken. I saw it and most of my friends saw it. And we were around 14, not a prime political ad-watching group.

  10. Nolanimrod: I believe they showed it only once on TV as an advertisement. It was shown quite a bit on the news, and discussion shows.

  11. Prof. Helen Brudner’s husband was a theoretical physicist and she’s brilliant as well. I totally agree with Plato and Peggy Bunker that Brudner is the real source for “a thousand points of light.”
