"Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable, and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided." Brian Eno

the interesting thing about France's great victory over the fascists is that the left was treated like an equal partner in the plan to prevent vote-splitting, and not simply screamed at to sit down, shut up, drop out, etc by shrill, egotistical centrists I wonder if anyone will learn from this
