[microsound] gaza drone

[David Powers]

How can you assume we are privileged just because we have internet access?

A year ago I had a $50,000 a year job.

Now I have $5 to get by for a whole week, including all food and transportation.

Is access to youtube a "privilege"? Really???

Is the content I produce really a symptom of a larger machine? How do
you know it's a symptom and not a struggle against the machine?

Just playing devil's advocate, since microsound list seemed to
disappear for a couple months and suddenly is back.
