    Over ten years later, I still remember the lecture. My law professor had drawn two squares on the chalkboard and labeled them A and B.
    “These squares,” he explained, “represent two neighboring factories that manufacturer the same product. The product is of the same quality and sold for the same price. It is manufactured for export only, so all profits come from overseas markets.”
    “The problem,” he continued, “is that manufacturing this product is environmentally (…)

    Most of us may have been fleetingly aware in 2006 that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were lying (…)

  • US Nuclear Terrorism, Global Warming, Genocide - Why Sarah Palin is UNFIT for office
    30 August 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    US Nuclear Terrorism, Global Warming, Global Poverty, Genocide and Mass Paedocide (Mass infanticide) are horrendous current realities supported by the Bush-ite Republicans and neo-Bush-ite Democrats - and key reasons why Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is utterly unfit for ANY office.
    It would be fine to have a woman VP or a woman President - if only because the Men have made such an awful mess of America and the World. However just as Hillary Clinton was unfit for (…)

    “It would be difficult to identify a President who, facing major international and domestic crises, has failed in both as clearly as President Bush,” concluded one respondent. “His domestic policies,” another noted, “have had the cumulative effect of shoring up a semi-permanent aristocracy of capital that dwarfs the aristocracy of land against which the founding fathers rebelled; of encouraging a mindless retreat from science and rationalism; and of crippling the nation’s economic base.” (…)

    Somewhere between George Bush and Noam Chomsky, who believe the 9/11 Commission Report, and David Ray Griffin, who believes "the Bush-Cheney administration orchestrated 9/11" (Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11, 2006, p. vii-viii, ), there is Peter Dale Scott.

    21 August 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    We need to learn the issues. People are unarmed. That is, people know that they’re getting shafted, but they don’t really know exactly how.
    The American press corps has finally begun to report on illegal activities of the Bush administration. However, the subject of election theft remains largely ignored. In recent years, the Republican Party has used an array of tactics to subtract votes from opposing candidates. These include sending defective voting machines to strongly Democratic (…)
