 America After the Elections
by Malvin Artley
To say that I and most of my friends were displeased with the outcome would be slightly understating the fact. But, I feel it necessary to bring out a few things that people may not have considered around all this and—despite it all—I can see what is coming, and I have to say I still feel quite bright about the future. more >>

 Big Melt Meets Big Empty

 Cutting Carbon Emissions
by Lester Brown
The energy transition is gaining momentum. When the Kyoto Protocol was negotiated in 1997, the proposed 5-percent reduction in carbon emissions from 1990 levels in industrial countries by 2012 seemed like an ambitious goal. Now it is widely seen as an outmoded, grossly inadequate goal. more >>

 Haiti Earthquake Relief-HELP DONATE HERE
by Margaret Trost
"There is no Port-au-Prince anymore. No one can be there without crying. Everyone is suffering. So many hurt. So many dead. So many without food and water. No aid from the Port-au-Prince airport has reached the neighborhoods I've visited. There's nothing. Everyone is waiting. We are the first group to be able to provide any relief to the St. Clare's area. The need is so great. It's very complicated to distribute aid because there are thousands and thousands of people without food and water in the community. We started yesterday. You have to be careful and pass out the food and water safely and compassionately, involving members of the community in the distribution process. This is how it can work smoothly and help the most people. We haven't had any violence." more >>

 The Sumatra Earthquake
by Malvin Artley
My purpose in this writing is to look at some of the deeper factors at work with this tragedy and to give a bit of perspective on things.

 Toward an Activist Sprituality
by Starhawk
The integration of magic and activism sometimes means bringing magic into an action -- doing a spiral dance in the midst of the tear gas of Quebec City, or in Grand Central station surrounded by riot cops.

 A New Middle East
by Palden Jenkins 8/30/2006

 America's Moral Crisis
by Andrew Bard Schmookler 7/26/2006
This presidency should be seen as a manifestation of the success of a set of amoral forces that have worked for a generation to take over the county.

 Bush Has Achieved America's Demise
by Paul Craig Roberts 10/13/2006

 Bush Policy Wonks Will Move Markets – and the Economy
1/15/2001
No one expects Dubya to put on his thinking cap, network with policy wonks and forge a set of priorities for his new administration that will rock our collective world. That was Bill Clinton's modus operandi.
Ideas for Bush policies will be coming from a handful of big think tanks in Washington. As in the Reagan era, the most important is the Heritage Foundation.

 California's Energy Crisis – Who's to Blame?
1/31/2001
California's new $10 billion energy bailout plan is being greeted with skepticism by both industry experts and consumer groups. That’s not surprising because the state of California, which has already proven itself to be “the gang that couldn’t deregulate”, has rushed to implement an emergency plan that looks increasingly like a band-aid on a severe gut-shot wound.

The only thing we have to do in preparation for the re-emergence of the Kingdom of Souls on Earth is to perform to our personal, spiritual best.

 Climate Change: Opening the Window of Opportunity
by Elizabeth R. Sawin 8/1/2007
If moving closer to the heart of things - moving from the symptom of rising temperature to its cause, CO2 pollution - produces the ability to solve multiple problems with a single solution, then what might be the power of reaching even deeper - into consumerism, into our sense that the Earth is ours to dominate, into the assumptions of the industrial age? more >>

 Cold Fusion: Back on the Menu

 Dance of Oil
12/7/2000
It looks as if oil politics could be the vehicle for George W. Bush to define his administration's geo-strategic principles, solidify support in Congress, reward his supporters in the energy "bidness" and unify the country behind his foreign policy, just as it was for his father. That does not necessarily mean a repeat of the Persian Gulf War, but oil provides an ideal vehicle for restating the imperial American policy abroad. more >>

There isn’t an urgent need to develop heroic climate engineering projects.

 Irrational Exuberance: Deja-vu All Over Again?
2/21/2001
"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hittin," explained famous philosopher, Hall of Fame ballplayer, and pennant-winning Manager (for the both the Yankees and Mets), Lawrence "Yogi" Berra, when asked about a long dry spell at the plate.
He could have been speaking for the equity markets' hivemind this week. The Nasdaq composite is off more than 53% from its high reached less than one year ago. After a big January pop, the COMP ended the month 46% off its March 2000 peak, and then proceeded to lose another 16% from its January 31 level.

 The Challenge of Affluence: A Root of America's Moral Crisis
by Andrew Bard Schmookler 3/7/2007
The American ethic of self-indulgence born of our affluence enables people to saddle their descendants with their own debt, running up huge deficits in the national accounts. The habit of yielding to baser impulses makes it easier to support baser policies in the collective realm -- like wars of imperial aggression around the world. more >>

 The Right of Return
by Palden Jenkins 7/3/2007
The question of the Palestinian Right of Return is big and crucial. But the discussion is predicated on factors and notions which do not really help the debate or a solution.

 UPDATE: Haiti Earthquake Relief-HELP DONATE HERE
by Margaret Trost 1/24/2010
I spoke with Lavarice this afternoon and he told me that over 10,000 people came to the St. Clare's rectory in search of food and water yesterday. The crowd was so large they were not able to make a dent in providing the aid needed. Lavarice continues to put out calls to the UN and other nonprofits asking them to come to the area with tents, water, and food. Some additional aid has trickled in, but not at the pace that's needed. Thankfully, two more trucks full of food and water, paid for with your donations, arrived late last night from the Dominican Republic. Today, the distribution of aid was a little easier. more >>

 Why Bank Rage Is Not Populism
by James Ridgeway 3/26/2009
What’s going on today bears little resemblance to the great surge of political organizing that began in and spread through the South and West in the 1890s. To begin with, it isn’t now, nor is it likely to become, part of any larger mass movement. It’s directed at the worst excesses of the system, not at the system itself. And it doesn’t offer an alternative vision, beyond a few more progressive “reforms.” more >>
