Listener comments!
	♥ 6:05am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Marty. Words to live by.
	6:07am ausmanx: shocking stuff today, Marty. no better here, of course. and our blackfellas are such a small minority, they got NO voice whatsoever. evening sem and everyone.
	♥ 6:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...put your Hands Up in the air like you really might care...
	6:10am ausmanx: they shoot you if you do that, rabbit!
	6:11am pierre: Bonjour Marty and fellow listeners, got news of the Death By Audio ending, never been to that place, too bad I'll probably never then.
	♥ 6:12am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, ausmanx. RevRab, yeah, keep your hands folded in front of you, pray 'em if you go 'em. Hey, pierre!
	6:20am pierre: salut Sem, ça va?
	♥ 6:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - sadly, not shocked. Disgusted.
	6:30am Marty McSorley: I wish i could be disgusted but im too busy being terrified.
	6:32am pierre: Disgusted and terrified by what ?
	6:32am ausmanx: you seen much of this shiz, marty? it's hard for us white folks to comprehend, to be honest, i just know from my muslim friends in sydney, for instance, that's it's daily harrassment. and when the guys with guns think they have impunity...
	6:34am mauri: howdyhodoodydoo
	6:38am pierre: ah, sorry, I got it, I saw the news. The Ferguson case. Frightening indeed.
	6:51am Brent: Tuned in, good morning dude!
	♥ 6:55am fred: Guten TZAG Marty and others I knew about that tradition of pardoning a turkey for thanksgiving. Everyday is thanksgiving to a pig
	♥ 6:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm 'American' & white - & it's the same. We're all appalled by what happened to Michael Brown - an unarmed 18 year old - shot @ least six times & probably many more - in a Midwestern suburb. The fact is though, he only represents an endemic & entrenched situation: it is happening constantly. - ha fred! - you predicted this...We knew the cop would walk.
	7:02am the Canterbury wood-elf: The comments on the CNN.com story right now are pretty scarily homogenous in their narrowness of view: http://tinyurl.com/kp7ukp7 Good to have soneone like Marty to put things in perspective this morning.
	7:02am TDK60: Cops who murder black, brown, and poor people in the name of capitalist white supremacy aren't just innocent; they're commended for a job well done. The white racist system continues.
	7:11am TDK60: Some people are gathering in Union Square, NYC, tonight at 7 pm, to protest.
	7:19am ausmanx: oh well, i'm sure the commander-in-chief, the leader of the free world, will once again show all the leadership skills he's shown in the last six years, so nothing to worry about really...
	♥ 7:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & of course, when he does, he'll receive no opposition or backlash from the Conservative Media, their Corporate backers, the Police & State governments, nor the Republican Congress swept in via a wave of Voter Apathy...
	♥ 7:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no wait - that's Voter Protest, I forgot...
	7:29am ausmanx: yep, there would have been a wildly different outcome if those crazy "democrats" had swept both houses of congress. after all, that's what's happened in the past...
	7:29am doca: Hi, @Marty and people, great - and poignant - show today. All that is happening makes me terrified indeed. But I was going to suggest a track for today's show (if you're taking requests, @Marty) from Racionais MC's, Brazil's foremost rap group, which tackles the same question, as most of their songs do. I've translated the lyrics on my blog (sorry for advertising it) brazil70translationproject.wordpress.com...
	7:33am Patrick Stankard: No justice
	7:34am ausmanx: "revolutionists... do not invest energy in appealing to power to reform" www.informationclearinghouse.info...
	♥ 7:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ausmanx: You're right - what's needed is some Leadership we aren't getting. Sending the Attorney General to Ferguson was good, & Eric Holder saying the problems there are systemic was right - but what difference does it make? Not enuff. It needs to be a National priority. - Thx also for tipping me to Russell Brand's trip. I've learned about him from an astrology podcast, of all places (episode 'Aquarian Age'): exploringastrology.libsyn.com... - I won't get into that here, but here's the >Direct Link< to hear it should you care: traffic.libsyn.com...
	7:45am ausmanx: thanks, RR, just been into remote outback for a week with a mate from UK and while driving we played a game of proposing celebrities for cabinet minister posts when Russell B becomes prime minister... an amusing exercise, i can recommend it!
	7:45am ausmanx: a very favourite track this, M. thanks for the whole show.
	7:51am the Canterbury wood-elf: Mmmmm, "trees for breakfast"...
	♥ 8:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ausmanx: Of course Marx warned that change does not come from above. He's always worth considering. Does that writer really want to lionize Lenin though? I think it's best to look for better results - however small - wherever they may be found. Reform may still be one way - speaking truth to power is surely another. Still another may be going off-grid, as is crowd-sourcing. (FMU is a kind of example of this, in its' little but important way - & that's why we're here.) - It's clear that economic imbalance, police culture, climate, war & gun violence are all problems that threaten us more & more, & won't be successfully ignored indefinitely. Every problem will take all the ingenuity anyone can bring to it. I don't have answers, & I understand the desire for regime change.
	8:23am nickybones: First time tuning in. Knockin' it outta the park.
	♥ 8:27am common: good morn...and, yea. man.
	8:33am ausmanx: well, i reckon there are a thousand small ways we can practice civil disobedience, but Hedges point is that really the information people consume is now so controlled by political institutions, corporations and media that the most important thing we can do is communicate to people what's really going on (which is what Marty's doing this morning). it's a long process; Lenin's achievements were profound, as were Mao's, but they were perverted as tends to happen. there'll be many more perversions too, no doubt. how much time do we have left, do you reckon?
	♥ 8:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - well - Climate for example means something different to people in Australia then in the U.S. I imagine - but they might catch on even here. Media is indeed the question - & my perspective, you see, is as a U.S. denizen. It has to get to the level of a McDonald's commercial to get thru here - & we know who's broadcasting those.
	8:41am ausmanx: designed to stop people thinking, that's why WE gotta get em thinking. but it's getting on for 1 am now and i have to quit working... thanks for GREAT show, M. and see everyone later in the week...
	8:42am Cheri Pi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	8:50am Cheri Pi: CLIQUE
	8:50am blee: NWA! YEAHHHHHHHH
	8:55am Cheri Pi: NWA helps
	♥ 8:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Marty.
	8:58am Cheri Pi: The long path to healing starts with this playlist, thanks Martay.
	♥ 1:45pm Passaic River Blues: Strange how this mix is relevant pretty much every time something horrible happens. It's almost this country is also facing the same intractable problems and our betters keep telling us our problems are new and unfathomable.
