Capitalism is another name for the intense human drive to accumulate power (as a means of survival). Friendship, the critical basis for all networks, runs into trouble when the open, balanced possibility of dialogue becomes submerged in a slowly rising flood of contempt-for-the-Other, and the belief that what one says intrinsically has more value than what the Other says, EVEN IF THE OTHER IS SILENT! nettime is a dance not of the different voices heard, but of the voices and the silence between those voices...

What are we going to do about it? TV Turnoff Week, April 22-28 is a start. Millions of people leaving their screens blank for a week is a powerful gesture of consumer sovereignty and will lead to bigger things down the road. If you are planning an action on your campus, high school or workplace, check out . You can get some ideas there and download b&w and color versions of the poster below. Check out the new 30-second TV Turnoff "Uncommercial." It's a potent little mindbomb and 60 public access stations have already agreed to air it. If you can secure airtime in your area, we'll send a broadcast copy for free! Email your address to tvturnoff@adbusters.org (specify VHS, 3/4", or BETA) We've raised $3,500 to air the spot twice on CNN Headline News. Let's try to air it eight more times during the week leading up to April 22. Each timeslot costs $1,750. To contribute to this fund, please contact Allan MacDonald at 604-737-2583 or allan@adbusters.org. For more specific information, contact Campaigns Manager Tom Liacas at tvturnoff@adbusters.org. For quick delivery of broadcast videos or for media interviews, please call the TV Turnoff Hotline 1-800-663-1243. Happy jamming.
