(Christmas 2007): Someone gotta fill these:
I wish I was a half of a two
We jammers are a loose global network of artists, activists, green entrepreneurs, media-literacy teachers, downshifters, reborn Lefties, high school shit-disturbers, campus rabble-rousers, dropouts, incorrigibles, poets, philosophers, ecofeminists. We cover the spectrum from the cool intellectual middle to the violent lunatic fringe, from Raging Grannies who chant doggerel at protests to urban guerrillas who stage wild street parties. We are ecological economists, TV jammers, ethical investors. We paint our own bike lanes, reclaim streets, "skull" Calvin Klein ads and paste GREASE stickers on tables and trays at McDonald's restaurants. We organize swap-meets, rearrange items on supermarket shelves, make our software available free on the Net and generally apply ourselves to the daily business of getting consumer culture to bite its own tail. We're idealists, anarchists, guerrilla tacticians, hoaxers, pranksters, neo-Luddites, malcontents and punks. We're the ragtag remnants of oppositional culture - what's left of the revolutionary impulse in the jaded fin de millénium atmosphere of postmodernity in which revolution is said to no longer be possible. What we share is an overwhelming rage against consumer capitalism and a vague sense that our time has come to act as a collective force. On the simplest level, we are a growing band of people who have given up on the American dream.
