clarifications of injustice I have ever read. How can I contact Tim in prison? He is my newest here.

that that shipped sailed over 50 years ago...there are multitudes of cases where general populations were used as test subjects for the military.

they chose to find a small nail to smash with their hammer?

anybody else?

Sunday Nov. 6 at the whitehouse

we are going to form a human ring around the whitehouse...like the symbolic "O" or like a house arrest so that he knows that this will be a 2012 issue. People must understand that the world's foremost climate expert James Hansen has characterized the exploitation of the tar sands in Alberta as "Game Over". It is the second largest carbon sink in the world, next to Saudi Arabia. It must stay in the ground. It is said that it will otherwise be sold to China. I contend that China is working har...

Just had a live web update about next Sunday in DC. Please come and send a strong message to Obama that he must not allow the pipeline. This is a unique situation, in that he alone has authority to yea or nay. He cannot hide behind the repub congress. We must remind him of his own words during his campaign... see website for more information: (Link)

but he died last year. (Link)

I suspected at one time that several years after the fact, there would be a minor article in some paper that would explain away the whole thing, thereby relieving anybody in charge from responsibility. Oh...wait...a...minute....

Just wondering how much the Keystone XL pipeline issue has penetrated the DU crowd. I am taking my daughters to help encircle the whitehouse to remind Obama of his campaign promises. Bill McKibben, author and founder of 350.org, has ignited a very classy movement with tarsandsaction.org. Hope to see you there. mattvermont

verify that the punishment is even leveled against him? You bad boy, we are gonna have to punish you...nudge, nudge, wink wink

that the government does not now and has not needed an excuse to assassinate us citizens on or off American soil for a very long time. Nobody is saying it is acceptable, but it is the norm.

has been carrying some serious water for the PNAC's and their ilk. What is up with that?

for infrastructure is a waste. Bridges, flood walls, dams, roads, municipal energy upgrades: insulate, windows, LED lighting, private and public energy incentives, smart grid, train, wind, solar... or more of the same for decades to come.

evidence of his support by having voiced his concerns in Wisconsin, Ohio, etc. last winter. I am not a basher...just sayin'

main highways washed out, water main gone, bridges gone....no wind to speak of.

with those wage increases. Living in DC with even the new money is decidedly middle class.

Visited my farm today to highlight a program that he has helped to fund. At risk youth who find conventional school difficult can participate in the Twilight Program in our local high school. Several kids in this program have been coming to our farm over the past few years to do a variety of projects, from weeding to harvesting. In exchange, we donate some of the food they harvest to local food shelves. In thew fall, they will help harvest a few thousand pounds of extra food for them. Bernie i...

not part of the middle class, as my retirement with 25 years in is less than half my annual income.

is well entrenched in the stock market. Where is your retirement?

Bush senior gets a polish in the rewrite. Are you kidding me? What possible conclusion can come from the 38 year old bones of a dead man? Ballistic experts, my ass.

for the truth to end up on page 33 of the paper

if one believed in doing such a thing....

over the last 3 years that number has declined to none. They are virtually gone from southern Vermont.

for decades. Two years ago, my father died in a hospice house that my mother helped to create. He was able to stay at home until his last few days. Hospice nurses are the angels of death that we need more of in this society. They give dignity to death, by reducing the stresses that are inevitable in a hospital setting. It turns decisions over to the dying and family. Hospice should be available to every human being. plain and simple.

Does the fact that David H. Koch is a primary donor to the NOVA episode I just watched, diminish the content or make you question the information presented?

The fascination, however comes from a lot of angles. First: It is a war that saw the premature end to over 600,000 americans in just over 3 years. Second: There has not been since a more brutal conflict within our own historical context, regardless of the reasons for the war. My fascination is renewed by the mere history that is our country. The NY times had a Magazine article today about the backstory that led to the wars connection to slavery. (Link) Such a connection was thrust upon a fe...
