ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Submissions to adbusters for pay on mental breakdown of the world. You got stories? Share 'em.
Adbusters #78: Mental Health For Dummies
Our next issue
is all about the dumbing down of our mental environment. We will be showing how
two-thirds of Americans between 18 and 24 cannot find Iraq on a
map, how many cannot identify the three branches of government, and how some
think the Vietnamese bombed Pearl Harbor to start
the Vietnam war, while trying to decipher why people are becoming so
disconnected from reality.
Email us your wildest comments and craziest, funniest and dumbest stories about
the world's mental breakdown to: <edi...@adbusters.org>.
Please keep it to 200 words or less. As always, we'll print the best and pay 50
cents per word. Also, don't hesitate to send us a poem, a picture, a spoof or
anything that stirs your soul.

ENVIRONMENTAL WORKSHOP SERIES
Movie: "The Real Dirt on Farmer John"
Join the D.C. Urban Gardeners inaugural film night for "The Real Dirt on
Farmer John". John Peterson is a quirky, free-spirited farmer who nearly loses
his family homestead outside Chicago not
once but twice because of forces rocking the nation's agricultural heartland.
Suspicious neighbors accuse Peterson of operating a homicidal cult. He loses
hope, then embraces something entirely new: Community Supported Agriculture.
This acclaimed film, crafted by Peterson from intimate documentary footage,
illuminates many of the issues at play in the current debate over where our
food comes from and the movement to support local agriculture. Free popcorn will
be served. Please reserve your spot by e-mailing Ed Bruske at
eucli...@yahoo.com.
Cost: $5 suggested donation
