living in constant fear

Russell Brand’s The Trews: how does the media scare us? – video

Michael Moore discussed some of the same issues in his Bowling for Columbine movie/documentary many years ago: a media/entertainment industry whose mandate it is to keep us in a constant state of fear.

Also, I love this line from Alain de Botton: “Philosophy” … “a devotion to an analysed life”… “is everyone’s responsibility”
