Like most urban intellectuals, I have been profoundly disturbed by the turns taken in the USA-in the fields of education, the economy, jobs, the environment, social security, health care, the loss of civil liberties and, not least of all, foreign policy.

Media Black Out on Vote Fraud Allegations
13 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

The conclusion by John Kerry that an investigation could not possibly reverse the election may quite possibly have been premature. But the question that both activists and the media should be asking is not whether there was enough fraud and errors to decide the election, nor even whether there was more than is usual, but (…)

Calm Before the Storm

It’s gotten quiet in my email box, though citizens across America continue to sign the petition at a steady, measured pace not unlike that of a growing, advancing army.
The media still has not picked up on the petition, though I note that all efforts - including Moveon.org’s petition to Congress, Ralph Nader’s call for a recount in (…) -

12 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
9/11 seems to have headed off any immediate investigation of the 2000 elections. It was a distraction from settling the issues that divide us as a nation - or appear to.
I personally resolve not to be distracted from this effort if there is another attack, if Bush manages to start another war, etc. 9/11 is highly suspect, the invasion of Iraq was based on lies or gross incompetence or both, and the shock has worn off.
We need to strive not to allow the same tactics to be used a second (…) -
