I recommend that you listen to this lecture by Douglas Rushkoff, a media theorist I have vastly enjoyed crossing intellectual paths with on several occasions. From Douglas Rushkoff’s blog:
Grass is the American history of marijuana. It’s both informative and funny, in part because it includes a lot of old propaganda clips on the subject. Narrated by Woody Harrelson.
“Steven Pinker charts the decline of violence from Biblical times to the present, and argues that, though it may seem illogical and even obscene, given Iraq and Darfur, we are living in the most peaceful time in our species’ existence.”
