Rather, we need to reconcile commerce with the dontbuyin website that asks cyberserfs to barter, beg and borrow rather than buy. ...Read the whole thing | |

| Peace March to the UN Submitted Friday, 9/20/06 by Charles Keil Got into the city yesterday (Sept. 19th) for the peace march to the U.N.

| In the Spirit of Jimmy McGriff Submitted Monday, 11/15/04 by Charles Keil Most of us Kerry/Edwards voters are sad today because we hoped that maybe, perhaps, just possibly, we could begin to talk about the really important issues again after our side either squeaked in or picked up a big majority as the public repudiated the plunge into unilateral, preemptive, perpetual wars abroad and repression at home. ...Read the whole thing | |
| Using the F Word Submitted Saturday, 11/3/03 by Charles Keil People don't like to use the word "Fascism" to describe the current political process in the USA, because it seems or appears that we want "democracy" for Afghanistan and Iraq so badly that we'll sacrifice many lives and many billions of dollars to achieve it, even sacrifice some democracy at home to spread it abroad. ...Read the whole thing | |
| Close Indian Point Now! Submitted Saturday, 8/4/03 by Charles Keil Denial is not a river in Egypt. Denial is flooding the USA these days. But wake up calls can be heard here and there too. The Hudson is a river in New York State that runs south toward New York City.
