How The US Army Ticks - The Murder Of Pat Tillman By His Fellow Rangers

The poor regard I have for sports fans ignoring real issues in society that I wrote about got me wondering again why the US military or specifically the Army Rangers shot football hero Pat Tillman. My memory from those days of blindly consuming mass media told me he was resented by his unit because he was a football star.  

Not so. 

Here's his brother quietly explaining he was murdered by fellow Army Rangers so as to take the American eye off the embarrassing story of Abu Ghraib. It's so miserable that Pat Tillman gave up his football career and was taken down as a gladiator to divert the attention of the masses. Bread and circuses the Romans called it. Panem et circences in Latin, and it's as old as the hills.

Normalize the abnormal and pretty soon people forget who they are. It's like a spell is cast over their ability to differentiate between right and wrong.

The Century of the Self is an absolute classic documentary. Watch it if you haven't yet.

George Harrison's son Dhani in the studio with George Martin (The Fifth Beatle) and his son discovering a forgotten guitar solo. Very special little clip this. 

I'm looking forward to what the Sun is going to bring this year. Mainly because the people I don't like are so nervous about it.

Sun, Sun, Sun. Here it comes.
