off line/in print Despite their limitiations, culture jamming and adbusting, parody and satire have proven vital to our growth as political activists, and they've acted as developmental stages in the process of becoming critically engaged with our media. from the print version of "Live by Their Tools, Die by Their Tools: The Political Limitations of Culture Jamming," by Anne Elizabeth Moore, an abbreviated version of which appears on-line here, in the inaugural issue of LiP (which also features a full-page Too Much Coffee Man comic). On [Election Day 2004], people across the country will come together in groups both large and small to demonstrate the effectiveness of direct action in getting things done, and of direct democracy as a means for communities to work together. from the anonymously authored article, "Don't Just Vote: Get Active!" in the inaugurual issue of Momentum. A riveting story that keeps you glued to the page until the stunning climax. Even a notification from your staff that the nation you lead is under attack can't keep you from reading the gut-wrenching final words.more reviews [7/19/04 update: temporarily] of Engelmann/Bruner's book here .
