The Prime Directive- by Justin Raimondo: May 12, 10:44am 3 reviews politics, iran •http://www.antiwar.com/justin?article...; With all the opposition to the Iraq war, one would expect that even a remote possibility of a similar war occurring would generate massive protests. Strangely, there is virtual silence as Iran is accused of harboring a nuclear weapons program and terrorist training camps.

Why is the media again echoing the same war propaganda that opened the doors to a war in Iraq? Where are the Democrats who can put a stop to this?

After the boomers, meet the children dubbed baby losers | World news | The Obser…: May 11, 10:22am 2 reviews sociology •http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/...; Babylosers - babyboomers' kids are more educated, working harder, and earning less.

Alex Renton: How the worlds oceans are running out of fish | Environment | The O…: May 10, 9:30pm 5 reviews fish, science •http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment...; Is anyone not aware that wild fish are in deep trouble? That three-quarters of commercially caught species are over-exploited or exploited to their maximum? Do they not know that industrial fishing is so inefficient that a third of the catch, some 32 million tonnes a year, is thrown away? For every ocean prawn you eat, fish weighing 10-20 times as much have been thrown overboard.

& The Ruthless Id: May 8, 9:19am 1 review politics, psychology •http://www.bestcyrano.org/THOMASPAINE...; The asshole quality of people like Sarkozy and Boris Johnson and Bush and Cheney is part of the unconscious self-loathing of the populace. It's the outward projection of the increasingly putrid inner lives (what there is of them) of the people of western advanced capitalist societies. School shootings, addiction to useless anti depressants (and drugs and booze of all kinds) and to TV and video distraction is all part of the same fabric. It's why I fear McCain will probably win the election next year. His snarky rictus of a smile, his near pyschotic glare and his rigid and robotic body movements all reflect the collective malaise of the nation. Scalia, Cheney, Boris, Condi, McCain, Clinton (both of them) ... These are all dark repugnant people bereft of compassion. They are the projections of our dark Id. ... To vote for those who hate you, who want to take more from you, who openly insult you, is a sign of madness. And this is a culture of almost total madness.

Nice rant.

To hell and back : The University Daily Kansan: May 7, 8:40pm 1 review mental-health •http://www.kansan.com/stories/2008/ma...; To hell and back [into the mental health system and back out]. Was it the medications all along?

Deadly Cyclone Puts Terror Hype In Perspective: May 7, 7:19pm 4 reviews terrorism •http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/...; As soon as we lose the fear, the terrorists lose their power over us to control our behavior. If western governments were really trying to win a war on terror as they claim then they would downplay and sideline acts of terror, pointing out that an individual has more chance of being struck by lightning than being killed in a terror attack.

Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs: May 5, 11:16am 2 reviews politics, iran •http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_E...; Iran is under tension within and without. It has the potential to become a major Asian and Mideast power, free from U.S. control.

STLtoday.com - under construction: May 5, 10:09am 6 reviews politics •http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/poli...; Republican Party officials in Missouri are the latest to make an attempt to stop Ron Paul's duly elected delegates from attending the national GOP convention. Their method is even more brazen and ill-considered than previous ones: according to them, supporting Ron Paul is evidence of disloyalty to the Republican Party.

The politics of power over principles is coming to an end. Conservatives are going to take the GOP back from those who gave us Bush, even if it means losing the executive branch forever.

Jack Shaheen Raps Hollywood for Vilifying Arabs: May 2, 7:56pm 1 review sociology •http://arabnews.com/?page=4§ion=0...; Hollywood's depiction of Arabs has eased the path for US administration policy, he argues. Decades of portraying Arabs and Muslims as the enemy "made it that much easier for us to go into Iraq," he said. "There were very few people protesting.

"Plato said: `Those who tell the stories rule society.' Nothing has changed, and the story-tellers of today have a tremendous impact on the world as we perceive it."
