After fixing www.GreatHomeTheater.com this morning, I sat transfixed, watching reportage of Hurricane Katrina from The Weather Channel and CNN. All of a sudden there was a "commercial" with Cindy Sheehan, full face, talking to the camera, but actually addressing President Bush. It was stunningly powerful. If you see it, no matter what side of the issue you are on, I think you'll agree this is incredibly effective communication.
I have read some quotes attributed to Ms. Sheehan, and if true, then she's not correct in all her allegations. No matter, your heart has to go out to her. Her son did die in service to his country. She obviously doesn't agree with the President's decision to send troops to Iraq, and she has become the symbol for others who share her view.
Is it just me or are you reminded of that lone Chinese student, standing in front of the tank on Tiananmen square years ago?
Nevertheless, with what media has become, I felt that commercial was the first light of a new era.
