We could just streamline the whole thing and buy Big Brother a rubber stamp, but that would deny a sinecure to some sycophant. We do need jobs in America.

The most important work still to be done in the United States is the education of an important proportion of its people. While the government is clearly in control by design or default, in many cases, there still needs to be a substantial nu...

Great article. It's certainly thought-provoking. Here are some thoughts this article provokes: "The first step, as with all tangible left projects, involves organizing: Members of the social movement and lone ranger le...

Oh be serious. The problems in Europe are caused by austerity. Trying to wind down government spending, sucking the life out of economies, throwing people out of work. The US is doing the same thing. It's pulling money out of the real economy ...

Hi Mitchell, Without re-reading the whole piece - I notice that the third prong was press the press... I don't see how what you are suggesting isn't part of that - I certainly intended press the press to mean fighting for improvements in ...

Let me suggest a fourth prong to this campaign -- pressing on media policy. The media in the United States and elsewhere are shaped to no small extent by government policies that favor the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of the poo...

I don't mean to legitimize anti-Arab rehtoric, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the labeling of Islam as a political center. The concepts of Ummah and a Caliphate are much older than the pudits you criticize, and have been used ...

Not to kick them while they're down, but where does terrorist bombing rank on the list of major threats faced by Americans anyway? Below bathtubs and hairdryers if I'm not mistaken, and certainly nowhere close to employer negligence, gun c...

In addition to atomizing people, the automobile commute also forces drivers into a daily Hobbesian battle on the highways. Shielded from each other by glass and steel and horsepower (and as likely as not riding in a paramilitary-styed SUV), driver...
