"I hate it when people whhiiinnne"

I wrote this back in May, but I'm going to go ahead and post it as a part of my (and maybe soon our) blog restarting effort.

I went to the library the other day, and happened across a small stack of copies of AdBusters, or as it should probably be known, The Whiney Liberal Digest.
Let me be forthright in saying that I've realized just how much I hate AdBusters, although it's kind of a moot point for me because like most Americans, I can't afford to pay eight dollars for a magazine.
The main problem that I have with AdBusters is the fact that it points out and whines on about a myriad of problems with American society (not Canadian, although the publishers are Canadian, and contrary to popular belief, Canada is not a socialist worker's paradise, either). But it offers few solutions other than the boycott method, which history shows us has rarely met with success unless a large segment of the general population or the great majority of the product's minority market participate. Therefore, I really doubt that the smug folks who publish and write to AdBusters have the potential to get much done. Do they know?
