had thought about putting this comment on the forum but this is probably better?
Glad to hear zerzan rag on mckibben 2 weeks in a row (I can't remember if this AR was one of those weeks). That said, I just discovered this link yesterday-

PBS's Ken Burns is coming out with a 3-hour thoreau documentary March 30+31. Not surprised of course to be dissappointed in the cast of celebrities used as voices; mckibben is one of them. I know Burns sux but after “american buffalo” which I watched because indigenous people I knew were in it and it was free, I thought it wasn't quite as bad as his other crap because it was gloomy and pessimistic/realistic thoroughout except for the 'everything is gonna be ok' bullshit ending similar to books zerzan talks about.
I hope, but doubt, Burns will at least mention thoreau's influence on anarchism. Won't hold my breath; but if i'm available on these days and it's free to stream, I will watch it.
