Al Gore is my Jesus, my Ghandi, my Buddah, my Allah, my last hope.

Wonder what’s going on?

We have to re-think our escape to canada….

For a moment there, it felt like a turn around. As if fascism, that hate that permeates American discourse, was taking it on the chin.

It’s funny, isn’t it, that when you find your self saying ‘it’s all good’; it rarely ever is.

Understandably the thought of “Controlling the Internet” appears to be a daunting task. In fact; could they do that? Isn’t there a hodgepodge of networks and technologies that is this wonderful melting pot for the whole world to share in? And it’s diversity almost impossible to control because of it’s complexity?

As of now, the simple answer to that is:
YES
They can control all of that.

Boeing-Boeing runs a story about UN World Intellectual Property Organization trying to organize worldwide censorship, ban podcasts and perform some other interesting things sake saving the market positions of current media-monopolies. Here is an excerpt: UN cooking podcast-killing treaty The UN’s World Intellectual Property Organization has reconvened to discuss a treaty that will kill innovative […]

Sometimes it is the small efforts in life that add up to something much larger.

Wow. That’s really all I can say about last night’s State of the Union. The president actually said ‘human-animal hybrids should be illegal.” No I’m not hating on the concept right now – although i think that the Christian fear of biotechnology is unfounded – but I wish to explore the absurdity and spectacular time we are living in now.

Aw heck. The good ‘ol US of A is flunking…

911 Commission Report Card for the Bush Administration

Article on 911 commission report card

It was in 1859, one hundred and forty-six years ago next month, that Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, and it’s been under attack ever since.

I had to re-post this list. Love DOES make a marriage.

An interesting article run today by Electronic Frontiers Foundation.

For the first time in history, a marriage equality bill has passed through a state legislature. The bill could reach Governor Schwarzenegger’s desk this week.
The Governor has indicated that he will veto this historic legislation.

Tonight I had a vision. I’m one who acts out their vision. I’ve decided that starting next Monday I will walk to work. I will retire my car. I will retire using oil. I can survive without oil. Can you? I will contact the LA Times. I will tell them what I’m doing. I want […]

For years it’s looked like “W” and his henchmen played every card right as if all things were planned on their behalf!

I’m sharing a recent column by Molly Ivins, who offers a broader analysis of the recent and continuing disasters precipitated by Hurrican Katrina. May we all contribute in some way to the changes that must follow this devastating event.

In what appears to be a rapid, horrific spiral into the surreal, U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.) Has Exposed the rebuilding of the 17th Street levee to be a staged Photo Op for President Bush.

Hey, Biniyam, whazzup? Are you still playing Jimi Hendrix´ stuff in dorm´s hall? You know, these were, probably, the best minutes in my life when you put meter-large loudspeakers into the hallway, switched your guitar on and palyed.

We’re facing the worst natural disaster in modern history – complete destruction of a large American city. 40% of the New Orleans national guard are in Iraq. Where is President Bush?

Are you a “dirty red”?

Did you know that about 2/3 of people who have never suffered from serious back pain have the same kinds of ‘abnormal’ back structures that are often blamed for chronic back pain, and that many people continue to have pain after ‘successful’ surgery? Fear is a major factor in continuing the pain cycle when there are no structural problems.

Did you know that the Chief of Staff of the Bush Administration’s Council on Environmental Quality was previously a lobbyist for oil companies???

Today, I am quite concerned about the story evolving around John Bolton’s appointment to the United Nations.

It’s about rivers and dams. Powell Reservoir, known by its fans as “Lake Powell” and its enemies as “Lake Foul.” It’s the lake that drowned Glen Canyon on the Colorado River above the GC National Park, Glen Canyon, “the Place that No One Knew.”

Having posted last on the day previous to the London subway bombings I find myself writing to my blog with a changed perspective.

What do you want? A headline? Just read it!

Warning! Negative thinking ahead!

I promise I’ll believe

If you’ve ever wondered why people who are hurt by Bush’s policies still vote for him, or how it is that conservatives have stolen such a mind share in this country, or how we can fight their Orwellian double speak, then pick up George Lakoff’s “Don’t Think of an Elephant”.

So how do I categorize this first blog of my life, in Love, Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Politics?

Be very very afraid!

I was browsing News.com as I usually do every moring, and was struck by the headline SEC, meet the blogosphere This is yet another concrete example of ‘blogging’ becoming a revolutionary, mainstream channel.
