It would be perhaps more correct, from a historical viewpoint, to remember the centennial of the First Revolution of 1905/7 while we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Great Socialist Revolution, whose implications were vast and whose objectives were victoriously achieved, both in Russia and in the internationalization of the Socialist ideals.

The hardline Islamist Taliban relaunched their insurgency two years ago to topple the pro-Western Afghan government and eject the 50,000 foreign troops, expanding their operations further from the mainly Pashtun south where (…)

Language Used In Letter Echo’s Offensive 1998 Million Dollar Ex-Gay Campaign
NEW YORK – Truth Wins Out criticized a letter from GLBT advocates and African American preachers defending Barack Obama’s poor decision to offer a platform to virulently anti-gay gospel singer Donnie McClurkin. In an effort to win the crucial Democratic primary in South Carolina, the Obama campaign seems willing to open it’s “big tent” to bigots at the expense of GLBT citizens, (…)

“America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you’ve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn’t belong to you.
The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don’t care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.” Tom (…)

People wearing bed sheets, Frankenstein masks, triangular black hats, trying to scare people on Halloween. They say “Trick or Treat” hoping to get candy.
When I was young if you didn’t get candy, or sometimes just for the hell of it, some rowdy young people would toilet-paper the yard, empty garbage cans on the porch, and in the countryside they would turn over an outhouse. But, except for some fundamentalists already terrified of sin, really nobody except the very young participants (…)

Tom Joad Says, By David Glenn Cox
“Maybe, there ain’t no sin and there ain’t no virtue it’s just what folks does.” Tom Joad said this out of his frustration in response to a world that was going to hell and nobody seeming to care. I share Tom’s frustrations with the world.
I curse George Orwell for his typical British under statement. That our Big Brother would be faster crueler dumber and more incompetent. But that the media would be far more all encompassing and the prettier she gets (…)
