Rock the Casbah

Pursuing my study of media and social change in North Africa. Here's a video which points out Khomeinei, while in exile, distributed audio cassettes to raise support for his revolutionary ideas. Our generation recalls another revolutionary using video taped messages, as well as a network of websites, to disseminate his revolutionary (and hateful) ideas. Today - social media and other means of digital communication drive change - as argued in this article.

Listening, and being heard, are the two greatest callings in life. Now both blessedly easy to do - if you know how.
