This is just a sidebar. I have another name for this totality, the mythological envelop. So it has the component of a worldview, a linguistic-cultural system of symbols, symbolic forms that automatically carry meaning and govern the range of reactions and reponses. It also carries a time and space component of both an `empirical' and symbolic form.
In the original post, I was getting pissed off while I was remembered the LA mind-set of its establishment, politics, media, culture industry etc.
So, I was thinking about these in relation to the wars. Anyway, on another post I have a link to Josh Rushing and Control Room, a documentary about the media propaganda war in the early few month of Iraq.
