Problems with Proposed 2004 Platform:
All documents referred to may be found here: http://greens.org/~hhart
I am urging all state parties, and all convention delegates, to pay
close attention to this!

proposed amendments, and am particularly supportive of the Carbon Tax
and Steady State planks.]

Hard lessons from poetry class: Speech is free unless it’s critical

No sperm donations for me…

[This is right up there with the blanket ban of sexually active gay/bi males from the blood supply. Logic need not apply. STDs affect every segment of the population… as Lamba Legal says:
“It’s completely illogical to say that a gay monogamous man who practiced safe sex four years ago cannot be a sperm donor, but […]

Robyn Ochs, editor of Bi Resource Guide, on front page of Washington Post, With Video

[Of course, the headline once again makes activists in the bi community wince. We really do have to go around wearing our labels on our shirtsleeves. Robyn is a (now) married monogamous BISEXUAL. Rather famously and outspokenly so. -Thomas

GQ interview with Colin Powell

[… as the person (Josh Levine) on Dave Farber’s IP list who posted this said… “The most interesting parts are an interview with Condi Rice, in which it is painfully evident how little relationship there is between what she
says and reality, and on-the-record comments of Powell’s chief of
staff, Larry Wilkerson, om the rest of the […]

Manifesto of “Anything That Moves”

About Our Name . . .
Our choice to use this title for the magazine has been nothing less than controversial. That we would choose to redefine the stereotype that “bisexuals will fuck anything that moves,” to suit our own purposes has created myriad reactions. Those critical of the title feel we are perpetuating the stereotype […]

Comment spam…

I just spent half an hour deleting a particularly annoying flood of comment spam… dozens upon dozens of faked comments… forthwith, all comments will now be moderated. I’ll still have to delete them, I think, but at least the bastards won’t get the benefit of a boost in Google from them. Maybe it will even […]
