RE: Timor and More



Debord saw this as a manifestation of the society of the spectacle. The
reporting on each crisis is the same or near same as the previous, with the
content of each forgotten with the next and so on.

The flurry of articles about E. Timor was interesting, reminding us about
the importance of not being caught up in the most recent CNN crisis --
Palestine being the latest.  The flip side of that syndrome is that we
forget each crisis just as soon as a new one appears, leaving us with no
sense of continuity and context.
