I think we have about a generation to make adjustments to rescue our viability (and that of countless other species).  A very knowledgeable environmentalist I spoke with the other day tells me ocean acidification may get us first if current t...

Great piece, Michael. I guess the left is "nuanced" after all! Particularly liked: "When a person privately does what they are supposed to do, acting honorably but in accord with their responsibilities and position...

Thank you, Michael. The wave of "vile and idiotic" attacks on Chavez seems to have crested with his passing - a  winning display of the cowardice of the press, if there weren't so many to choose from - making it considerably mor...

My deepest sympathies for Chavez's family, his close friends and comrades and the people of Venezuela. Here is hoping for a new chapter in Venzuelan social progress and the grass-roots democratic solidarity of South America and the Carribean.

A truly sad day. The greatest leader of our time gone. I have never been to Venezuela or anywhere in Western hemisphere but I take this loss very personally nonetheless. I took note of Venezuela and el Comandante from the very start, when he star...

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,...

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...
