First You See It, Then You Don't.

Here’s a word we’ve been hearing a lot lately. First, not at all popular...all of a sudden, it’s everywhere!

Redact:

to obscure or remove (text) from a document prior to publication or release

I’m thinking: here’s a fortune waiting to be made...an enterprising individual could get rich finding a way of reading thru redacted material. How cool would that be?

Instead of watching helplessly as those "mafia" characters in New Jersey, Staten Island and New York, (doesn't it seem like we're watching a scene from "The Godfather"?), our attorneys would yawn, brush the redacted copy with the “miracle mix” and say...”you mean this?”

Naomi Klein

Born May 8, 1970, Klein is a Canadian author and social activist known for her political analyses and criticism of corporate globalization.

She is best known for No Logo, a book that went on to become an international bestseller, and The Shock Doctrine, a critical analysis of the history of neo-liberal economics.

If you haven’t yet, read one of her books. She is entertaining as well as comfortable discussing the problems America is facing today. Get informed without suffering the “big hair blonds” featured on Fox who know nothing more than reading off the prompter.
