  • Paris Terrorist was Radicalized by Bush's Iraq War, Abu Ghraib Torture

      This follows a similar story line as the movie, Battle of Algiers.

  • NYC Climate Demo: Top 5 Massive Rallies that had no Effect

      Yup! How would the political pressure change if 50% of fossil fuels were displaced by solar and wind and even wood pellets? What if the effort taken for making speeches and marching were put into promoting clean energy ventures, businesses and organizations? Probably local efforts and local steering committees could make incremental achievements that will add up quicker than anticipated.

      A smart monk once told me to stop flailing away at bad people and start building something that will last after I leave the scene.

  • Opportunities Abound in Iraq to Reset US Middle East Policy

      We have all kinds of opportunities to create new alliances and arraignments, but does anyone dare discuss and justify our options for goals?

  • Ban Coal: Coal Industry Chemical Threatens 300,000 in West Virginia
    • Bob Spencer 01/11/2014 at 5:36 am

      This is tragic. It's equally tragic that we ignore the people living in these poorest counties in the US until something like this happens.
