Democracy is coming... to the U.S.A.! In a success for citizens' right to know and an even bigger success for the movement to get rid of corporate personhood, a county common pleas court judge in western Pennsylvania has ordered the unsealing of an agreement between a corporate fracking combine and two citizens, ruling that corporations have no inherent rights.

U.S. To Become A Second Rate Power... like it is poorly rated in so many other areas The boys running the show need us to keep believing in American Exceptionalism (as in "U-S-A! U-S-A! We're #1!"). Thankfully, it's becoming a tougher sell all the time.

Learning Our Penchant for Mass Murder In the national discussion about mass murders, we need to consider ALL options, like what do we learn from a government that spends more on death than life every year?

"Dear Afghanistan" A Global Listening Project for Peace As I began to realize how dangerous the Peace Volunteers' work could be, the global call-in project dubbed "Dear Afghanistan," became much more than a chance for callers to meet a handful of charming, brave boys. It was the beginning of an international support committee that at some moment may need to quickly mobilize to demand governments intervene to protect these young men's lives.

Now you can promise change and international cooperation while ordering more drone bombings that kill innocent civilians -- and still get a Nobel Peace Prize. There's something wrong with this picture.
