    The walkout, at 11 a.m. New York time, came 10 days after the union extended the old contract past its expiration while the two sides negotiated. The latest round of bargaining had run for (…)

    Things are in the saddle And ride mankind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    Like a rubber band pulled to its very limits before snapping, tensions regarding the "War on Terror", the Israeli issue, and the seemingly inevitable military conflict with Iran charged the atmosphere with electricity on Monday afternoon when President Amadinejad spoke at Columbia University. Not since the riots of ’68, which in part fomented the ideological foundations for Neoconservativism, has a University event caused (…)

Here in the U.S. our continued over-consumption of fossil fuels depletes water resources, pollutes the land and air, and causes health problems throughout Turtle Island and the world. Furthermore, it contributes to climate change (…)

    The Toronto Star informed us today:
    "The death toll could be twice our number, but it could not possibly be 10 times higher," he [John Sloboda, professor of psychology at Keele University, and a co-founder of IBC] told me, referring to the other studies.
    Question: How can a professor of psychology who collects Iraqi deaths through media reports possibly know what the death toll could be? We are in prophecy territory here. Don’t take me wrong; I love mythology (…)

    Oil and Betrayal in Iraq
    Alan Greenspan should know. It was oil all along. The former head of the Federal Reserve writes in his memoir, "The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World," "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil." Greenspan even advised Bush that "taking Saddam Hussein out was essential" to protect oil supplies.
    Yes, we suspected it. In a deep sense, many of us knew it, just as those in (…)
