Thank you for putting this together. It is all too easy to get wrapped up in the so-called "conservative vs. liberal" political theater that Washington puts on when, in reality, both sides of the argument accept the assumptions of capita...

Like Justin, I learned much more about Venezuela and Hugo Chavez after 2002, but I had been paying attention before that.  I was living in Argentina, teaching and doing much research on Latin America.  Given the history of Latin America,...

My deepest sympathies to the people of Venezuela.  But remember that you and the revolution are the hope of the world, and life is a brave fight.  Long live the revolution.

Thanks for the article, Justin I feel a terrible sense of loss for the people of Venezuela. I just hope that President Chavez's reforms have gone so deep that they cannot be swept away by those in the employ of the rampaging war and money obs...

Wilson: Nonviolence can miss the point

The article doesn't deal much with pragmatic strategy, and that is often a problem with nonviolence.  Many seem to think that nonviolence is all about getting media attention.  Instead the focus should be on negotiating with real dec...

Paul,  Thanks for your response. I would agree that the question is just how hard we want to make life for ourselves. A decently liveable planet might still be in reach. I've been considering the question of population reduction due to g...

It's a shame when an organization gets co-opted and corrupted.  A.I.'s credibility just vacated my toilet bowl.

Thanks, Brian - a thorough critique of reading still on my to-do list. It's great that the contributors are giving us meatier examinations of these 'end-times'-like perspectives, the greater challenge is the strategy and concrete next ...

It is good to finally get some detailed information from Manning himself about what he did. He certainly makes clear that his actions were guided by his sense of morality which may not help him win his court case but I hope will garner him more su...

Much more than that…   Yes, he is much, much more.   He’s a moral person who judges an action by it likely and actual outcome, not it’s “intention”.   He dares to say how and when the emperor has no cl...

We Americans are born suckers, believing that we are the best, the smartest, the richest, the most democractic, and on and on.  What we are is something less admirable, unrealistic, thinking that no matter what problem, domestic or foreign, t...

What we (the West, especially the U.S.) is creating in Syria lies outside the view of the most powerful people in the U.S.  Oh, yes, we (the high and mighty) think we know, but what the outcome is and will become is beyond conception.  T...

Just as Mr. Greenwald says that the military budget of the U.S. and of Iran are in different universes, this pretty much describes just about everything in the U.S.  We (through our government, corporations, dismissive attitudes, ignorance of...
