Slacker Uprising's effectiveness in motivating our youth is not for naught, however.If the rallying cry to vote even in a sham system unifies the youth into action, then the film should be promoted far and wide.With fewer years of being propagandized, they might more easily recognize the false hope of our corporate-sponsored government that fails on all social measures.As walls are built to enclose us, as spies track our movements and conversations, as wealth is further concentrated, it will be the youth who respond.
If Michael Moore is the one who unites them, even with the deception of voting in a rigged system, then so be it.Who else on the Left has reached the youth the way he has?
In 2004, Rady Ananda joined the growing community of citizen journalists. Initially focused on elections, she investigated the 2004 Ohio election, organizing, training and leading several forays into counties to photograph the 2004 ballots. She officially served at three recounts, including the 2004 recount. She also organized and led the team that audited Franklin County Ohio's 2006 election, proving the number of voter signatures did not match official results. Her work appears in three books.
Her blogs also address religious, gender, sexual and racial equality, as well as environmental issues; and are sprinkled with book and film reviews on various topics. She spent most of her working life as a researcher or investigator for private lawyers, and five years as an editor.
She graduated from The Ohio State University's School of Agriculture in December 2003 with a B.S. in Natural Resources.
