My response to Mike Rotkin’s letter

The sub-text of Mike Rotkin’s recent letter to the editor is an attack on the growing influence of the Green Party in local and national politics, based on their principled and active opposition to the war in Iraq - which has been in stark contrast to the actions of the Democratic Party at a national […]

Casualities in Gulf War I: 221,000 and counting…

My dad, who works for the California Department of Veterans Affairs, confirms the scope of the damage - he says they attribute it to chemical weapons and oil pollution. I’ll have to ask him whether Depleted Uranium is acknowledged as a source of problems or not.

Quote from Michael Moore’s “Stupid White Men” Desktop Calendar

Tuesday, March 18th
Thanks to Bush’s “Bite Me” foreign policy, it’s a lot harder to justify why we in the most arrogant 4% of the world’s population should own more than a quarter of its wealth. People don’t hate our freedom, they hate us ’cause we’re assholes.

Shame on you, Pulaski County Special School District staff and board!!!

Dear Supt. Henderson and Pulaski County Special School District Board,
What in the world were your school officials and teachers thinking, when they demanded that Thomas N. McLaughlin read from the Bible as a punishment(!) for denying he was ‘abnormal’ and ‘un-natural’ and then preached to him about homosexuality while he was under their authority […]

Conservatives hysterical over potential “Third parent” adoption in Canada

[I would like to see Mr. Kurtz explain exactly how “Monogamous marriage cannot function if it is just one of many social arrangements.” … what they’re really saying is that people might actually choose an alternative living arrangement, because a monogamous marriage isn’t a workable solution for them. And that this possibility that people might […]

Bill Cosby - Educational Activist? Very cool!

[Can’t agree more with him… even though I had a very positive experience with the schools, a very supportive set of parents and community, etc., I feel that in a lot of ways, I succeeded more on my own efforts than the school system’s. I can imagine that others with less advantages than I would […]
