            both legal and socio-economic obstacles to organizing, but we're
            going to have to organize anyway, because Big Media is going for
            the jugular.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.clamormagazine.org/issues/26/economics.php"><P>My advice: write about it.  Write about the insane contracts.
            Caricature the bosses in cartoon and prose.  Get past the big-money
            thrill of writing commodified nonsense for Time Warner or Bertelsmann
            and spread the word in paying indie and underground publications—choose
            a side and let it be the side of the rest of the world's workers.  Let
            the kingdom of ownership fall into ruin, because we'll be better
            off living in a better universe, one that our bosses haven't already
            staked a claim to.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://threemeninatub.blogspot.com/2007/03/bring-me-your-poor.html" href="http://threemeninatub.blogspot.com/2007/03/bring-me-your-poor.html" style="font-size: 11px;">threemeninatub.blogspot.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://threemeninatub.blogspot.com/2007/03/bring-me-your-poor.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/threemeninatub.blogspot.com/img/2069CF85-315E-46AF-AF33-BB1EDBD05238" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A26DBD6E-6F2B-472B-A3C0-0CFA9A7796BC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
